“What is your theory of psychological development?” As an undergraduate
I faced that very essay question on my final exam in an introductory child
psychology class. Drawing on all the theories I had ever heard of, I modestly
generated a 6 (age) _ 20 (developmental tasks) matrix that covered all of
development. My interest in theories was launched. Perhaps if I had been given
a multiple-choice test this book would address a different topic. In all five
editions of this book I have tried to show the “big picture” of psychological
development. Sometimes students are frustrated by fact-laden textbooks that do
not provide frameworks in which to fit the
facts. It is often not clear, for example, why a Swiss philosopher would
be interested in children’s numerical judgments after a row of objects is
spread out or why it is noteworthy that infants cry when their mothers leave
the room. This book provides frameworks for understanding and perceiving the
significance of the research findings in developmental psychology.
