She argues that children be seen not as scientists but as members of a community of minds, striving not only to make sense, but also to share meanings with others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA child is always part of a social world, yet the child's experience is private. So, Nelson argues, we must study children in the context of the relationships, interactive language, and culture of their everyday lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNelson draws philosophically from pragmatism and phenomenology, and empirically from a range of developmental research. Skeptical of work that focuses on presumed innate abilities and the close fit of child and adult forms of cognition, her dynamic framework takes into account whole systems developing over time, presenting a coherent account of social, cognitive, and linguistic development in the first five years of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNelson argues that a child's entrance into the community of minds is a slow, gradual process with enormous consequences for child development, and the adults that they become. Original, deeply scholarly, and trenchant, \u003ci\u003eYoung Minds in Social Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire a new generation of developmental psychologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNelson, Katherine:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Katherine Nelson is Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Emerita, at the Graduate Center, City University of New York.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50326893199634,"sku":"9780674034860","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5fdc5237-d7f9-43b6-85fa-3ef085dd433a.jpg?v=1727706584","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/young-minds-in-social-worlds-experience-meaning-and-memory-9780674034860","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
