Spring 2014 Development and Cognition ◆ 81 new and of related interest from ApA Journals® nEW! Cognition and Brain Development Converging Evidence From Various Methodologies Edited by Bhoomika rastogi Kar Research in brain cognition and development has expanded rapidly over the last ten years. Our scientific understanding of the developmental stages of infancy, childhood, and adolescence has reached a new level of sophistication, thanks to extensive studies on cognitive processes such as attention, inhibition, executive control, working memory, language, spatial cognition, lexical access, and emotional processing. In this book, an elite group of international contributors presents the latest advances in the science of cognitive development. The authors work at prestigious labs across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and their diverse linguistic backgrounds permit especially interesting work on language and cognition. They explore such topics as the role of dopamine in ADHD, the development of selfconsciousness and ethics, the use of functional MRI in epilepsy patients, and the crucial role of culture in the development of language. sAMPle CHAPteRs InClUDe: Development of Selection and Control ◆ The Nature and Nurture of Executive Attention Development ◆ The Dopamine Hypothesis of ADHD and Brain Response to Stimulant Medication ◆ Self-Consciousness and the Origins of an Ethical Stance ◆ Children's Reading Development: Learning About Sounds, Symbols and Cross-Modal Mappings ◆ Functional MRI of Language in Patients With Epilepsy VIeW FUll tABle oF Contents onlIne: www.apa.org/pubs/books/4318114 2013. 328 pages.

Chapman, Michael r. Dougherty, and Jere Confrey The period from adolescence through young adulthood is one of great promise and vulnerability. As teenagers approach maturity, they must develop and apply the skills and habits necessary to navigate adulthood and compete in an ever more technological and globalized world. But as parents and researchers have long known, there is a crucial dichotomy between adolescents' cognitive competence and their frequent inability to utilize that competence in everyday decision-making. This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading scientists to examine how the adolescent brain develops, and how this development impacts various aspects of reasoning and decision-making, from the use and function of memory and representation, to judgment, mathematical problem-solving, and the construction of meaning. sAMPle CHAPteRs InClUDe: Anatomic Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Developing Child and Adolescent Brain ◆ Representation and Transfer of Abstract Mathematical Concepts in Adolescence and Young Adulthood ◆ Adolescent Reasoning in Mathematical and Nonmathematical Domains: Exploring the Paradox ◆ Risky Behavior in Adolescents: The Role of the Developing Brain ◆ Paradoxes in the Adolescent Brain in Cognition, Emotion, and Rationality Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences Official Journal of the NorthEastern Evolutionary Psychology Society Editor: Dan O'Brien, phD formerly known as the Journal of Social, Evolutionary, and Cultural Psychology, this quarterly journal publishes articles that advance the study of human behavior from an evolutionary perspective, with an emphasis on work that integrates evolutionary theory with other approaches and perspectives from across the behavioral sciences. Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences focuses on scholarship that explores the role of evolved mechanisms in real-world phenomena, the consequences of evolved behavior for the patterns and structure of society, and the interplay between evolved psychological mechanisms and cultural influences on behavior.
