Description

This introductory text lays particular emphasis on the relationship between development and behaviour. Indeed, the second part of the book is devoted to examining the role of factors present during development which influence the growth of the nervous system and subsequent behaviour. Throughout the subject matter is extensively illustrated in clear, colour diagrams, and each chapter ends with learning objectives and questions.
