This book presents a new process-orientated view of development and learning based on recent innovations in psychology research.Microdevelopment is the process of change in abilities, knowledge and understanding during short time-spans. This book presents a new process-oriented view of development and learning based on recent innovations in psychology research. Instead of characterizing abilities at different ages, researchers investigate processes of development and learning that evolve through time and explain what enables progress in them. With contributions from the foremost researchers in the field, Microdevelopment will be essential reading for all interested in cognitive and developmental science.Microdevelopment is the process of change in abilities, knowledge and understanding during short time-spans.
