Description

Development Across the Lifespan offers a strong balance between research and applications.

 

Robert Feldman offers students a chronological overview of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development–from conception through death with his text Development Across the Lifespan . The text presents up-to-date coverage of theory and research, with an emphasis on the application of these concepts by students in their personal–and future professional–lives. The text taps into students’ inherent interest in the subject of human development, encouraging them to draw connections between the material and their own experiences.


Features

Focus on Applications:

 

From Research to Practice boxes describe research on a contemporary issue in lifespan development and explain how this research may be applied in specific situations. These features enable students to see the impact of developmental research throughout society.

Example: From Research to Practice--Using Developmental Research to Improve Public Policy (pg 37)

 

Becoming an Informed Consumer of Development boxes show students how they can make use of the lifespan development research presented in the text. These sections encourage students to actively engage with the material and apply the concepts they’re learning in their own lives.

Example: Becoming an Informed Consumer of Development--Thinking Critically About "Expert" Advice (pg 40)

 

Developmental Diversity features highlight issues that are relevant in today’s multicultural society. Located within the main narrative of the text, these sections focus on lifespan development theories that speak to the differences between—and similarities among—various groups of people.

Example: Developmental Diversity--How Culture, Ethnicity, and Race Influence Development (pg 8)

 

Careers in Lifespan Development boxes offer students insight into how developmental psychology is applicable in numerous fields. Focusing on specific individuals from diverse professions, these features show students how the material in the text may be utilized in their future careers.

Example: Careers in Lifespan Development--Diana Hegger, Neonatal Nurse and Educator (pg 99)

 

Focused on Pedagogy:

 

Prologues open each chapter and describe an individual or situation that is relevant to the basic developmental issues being addressed in the chapter. 

Example: The prologue for Chapter 3: Birth and the Newborn Infant is entitled "A 22-Ounce Miracle" and describes the premature birth of a little girl at 25 weeks.

 

Looking Ahead sections orient readers to the topics to be covered, bridging the opening prologue with the remainder of the chapter and providing orienting questions.

Example: Looking Ahead (pg 86)

 

Review and Apply Sections are three short recaps of the chapters’ main points, followed by questions designed to provoke critical thinking. There are three "Review and Apply" sections to each chapter.

Example: Review and Apply (pg 95)

 

Running Glossary of key terms are defined in the margins of the page on which the term is presented.

Example: Preterm Infants (pg 95)

 

End-of-Chapter Material: Each chapter ends with an Epilogue that refers back to the opening Prologue, a bulleted summary, and a list of key terms and concepts. This material is designed to help students study and retain the information in the chapter.

Example: Chapter 3: Birth and the Newborn Infant end of chapter material (pp 112-113)

 

Focus on Assessment:
