  • Infant perception and cognition : recent advances, emerging theories, and future directions
    "The cognitive revolution in the 1950's and 1900's led researchers to view the human mind in the same way as we view computers: An information-processing system that encodes, represents, and stores ... information and is constrained by limits on hardware (the brain) and software (learning strategies and rules). Since then, the emergence of new behavioral, computational, and neuroscience methodologies has deeply expanded psychologists' understanding of the workings of the infant, child, and adult mind. One result is that research has come to focus on mechanisms of change, over developmental time, in the information-processing mind." "In this book, Lisa Oakes, Cara Cashon, Marianella Casasola, and David Rakison bring together the recent findings and theories about the origins and early development of the information-processing mind, and provide insight into future directions in the study of infant perception and cognition. The contributors, from a wide-range of research areas in the study of infant perception and cognition, each emphasize the use of diverse methodological techniques to address key questions about development. Their chapters illustrate how combining historical perspectives on the information-processing approach to cognition with recent advances in behavioral, computational, and neuroscience approaches to cognition has contributed to our understanding of how abilities ranging from visual attention to face processing to object categorization have developed during infancy. Looking across this broad range of topics, it becomes clear that much of our modern understanding of infant perceptual and cognitive development has emerged from the foundation of classic information-processing models of development, such as that of Leslie B. Cohen (1991), and looking at the recent advances in each topic that are presented here, it becomes clear how researchers have built on this foundation to uncover the mechanisms that drive developmental change."
