The collected papers from the most prestigious symposia in the
field of child development provide scholars, students, and
practitioners with access to the work of key researchers in human
development. This volume focuses on changes in our understanding of
cogisnitive control processes--constructs important to the
field since Wundt and Freud. Our understanding of these constructs
has advanced dramatically in recent years--both empirically
and conceptually. This collection brings generalists and
specialists alike up-to-date on this central process of human
development and the implications for this new knowledge on school
success and other areas.
