chnages to Developmental Science

[Denis Mareschal]

Dear all,

Following the tragic and unexpected demise of Professor George Butterworth
(founding editor of Developmental Science) a few chnages have been made to
the editorial board and emphasis of the journal.

DEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE publishes cutting-edge theory and up-to-the-minute
research on scientific developmental psychology from leading thinkers in
the field.

New scientific findings and in-depth empirical studies are published, with
coverage including species comparative, compuational modelling (ESPECIALLY
CONNECTIONIST OR NEURAL NETWORK MODELLING), social and biological
approaches to development as well as cognitive development.


INCREASING EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON PAPERS THAT BRIDGE LEVELS OF
EXPLANATION IN DEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE, such as between brain growth and
perceptual, cognitive and social development (sometimes called
"developmental cognitive neuroscience"), and those which cover emerging
areas such as functional neuroimaging of the developing brain.


SPECIAL ISSUE, Volume 4, Issue 3 THE DEVELOPING HUMAN BRAIN
Edited by Michael Posner, Mary Rothbart, Martha Farah and John Bruer

This special issue will contain a state-of-the-art assessment written by
six international panels who reviewed research progress on fundamental
questions in the field. Chapters include: perception and attention,
language, temperament and emotion, socialization and psychopathology. The
two-year process of compiling the report involved meetings that included
leading investigators in many fields and countries.
