Practical implications of the study of children’s thinking and development The mysteries of children’s thought processes have traditionally been a mystery to adults; until recently, with the development of revealing experimental methods. Children’s Thinking aims to shine a light on the thoughts and perceptions of children using major research findings and cutting-edge theories on children’s thinking development. The text examines the change process through which development occurs, from infancy to adolescence, and the changes in conceptual understanding, language, memory, perception, and problem-solving that mark cognitive development.
