The scientific interface between biological studies of the brain and behavioural studies of human development is a fascinating realm that has been growing in recent years. This interdisciplinary field explores the complex relationships between brain development, genetics, and behaviour, shedding light on how our brains shape our behaviour and vice versa.

The authors of this textbook provide an engaging introduction to the field, tracing its roots in developmental psychology and neuroscience. They highlight some of the most persuasive research findings in the area, such as the importance of early childhood experiences on brain development and the role of genetics in shaping cognitive abilities.

The book then delves into brain development and plasticity, providing a comprehensive overview of how the brain grows and adapts throughout our lives. It discusses the prenatal period, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, highlighting the key milestones in brain development and the factors that influence it. The authors also explore the neurodevelopmental basis of a wide range of human competencies, such as perception, language comprehension, socioemotional development, memory systems, literacy and numeracy, and self-regulation.

Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in developmental cognition or neuroscience, this textbook is pedagogically rich, featuring interviews with leading researchers, learning objectives, review questions, further-reading recommendations, and numerous colour figures. Instructor teaching is supported by lecture slides and a test bank.

Overall, this textbook is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the scientific interface between biological studies of the brain and behavioural studies of human development. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field, making it an invaluable tool for students, researchers, and professionals alike.
