Essays in Developmental Psychology
Edited by Randall Summers, Charles Golden, Lisa Lashley, & Erica Ailes
Thank you for visiting ESSAYS IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY.
This project originally started out as part of an encyclopedia of developmental psychology coordinated by Dr. Randall Summers.
At the last minute--after most of the work was done, the publisher was no longer in a position to publish the encyclopedia.
This project was undertaken so that thousands of hours of work by psychologists would not be wasted,
Please enjoy any of these essays relevant to your interests and feel free to cite them using the proper reference.
