The text periodically provides topical treatment for key topics. It also adopts the biopsychosocial framework to organize and tie themes together, thereby making it easier for you to absorb and comprehend the material. Helpful Study and Test Prep To facilitate your study and grasp of the material, Learning Objectives, followed by brief vignettes, open the major sections in each chapter. Each major section concludes with concept-reinforcing Test Yourself sections (with answers provided upside down for immediate feedback). Summaries are organized around the Learning Objectives, reinforcing key concepts. Key terms appear in colorized boldface type when introduced, making it easy for you to locate them as you review and prepare for tests. Relevant Content Human Development in Action features (in the margins) encourage you to imagine yourself in a specific professional setting and to apply knowledge of human development to a specific problem. This feature helps you develop your skills in interpreting developmental information, which may be useful in your career. Graphics and References to Recent Research The text is updated with new graphics and hundreds of references to recent work. New material in Parts I and II discusses ways to help young children pay attention more effectively, the impact of parents' speech on language learning, children's play with pets, spanking, genetic influences on parenting, the influence of computers, the factors that contribute to obesity, and dating violence.
