Exceptional in its currency, global in its cultural reach, Kathleen Berger’s portrait of the scientific investigation of childhood and adolescent development helps bring an evolving field into the evolving classroom. Guided by Berger’s clear, inviting authorial voice, and page after page of fascinating examples from cultures around the world, students see how classic and current research, and the lives of real people, shape the field’s core theories and concepts.
In addition to Kathleen Berger’s exhaustive updating of the research, this edition is notable for its thorough integration of assessment throughout (learning objectives, assessments after each section, expanded end-of-chapter quizzes) all aligned with national standards. The new edition is also more than ever an integrated text/media package, moving students from the printed page to online tools that help them develop observation and critical thinking skills. Those online components are all a part of the book’s dedicated version of LaunchPad, Worth Publishers’ breakthrough online course space in which power and simplicity go hand in hand.

Hundreds of New Research Citations
As always, Kathleen Berger offers a thoroughly contemporary view of where the study of child/adolescent development is, and where it’s heading. Coverage includes new discussions of:
- Environmental hazards such as lead and bisphenol-A
- Childhood obesity and nutritional deficiencies
- Body dissatisfaction among teenagers
- e-Cigarette use among teens and emerging adults
- Immunizations and the impact of unvaccinated children on public health
- Impact of screen time on development of very young children and infants.
- Technology in adolescence, including new discussions on sexting, cyberbully, and other forms of online harassment.
- The experience of immigration during childhood
- The latest data, theories and DSM 5 criteria on common psychological disorders of childhood and adolescence including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and specific learning disorders.
Integrated Assessment Throughout the Book
The new edition provides What Will You Know? questions for each chapter and What Have You Learned? questions after every chapter section. These assessments are designed to make it clear to students exactly what they need to learn to meet their career goals.
New Inside the Brain feature
Since new discoveries abound almost daily in the field of neuroscience, the author has added Inside the Brain features to several chapters, exploring topics such as the intricacies of prenatal and infant brain development, brain specialization and speech development, and brain maturation and emotional development.
Visualizing Development Infographics
Linking together graphics, text, and photographs, these infographics tell a visual story about important concepts in child development often with data that encourage students to think of other nations, other cultures, or other times.
LaunchPad
Developed with extensive feedback from instructors and students, Worth Publishers’ new online course space offers:
- Pre-built Units for each chapter, curated by experienced educators, with media for that chapter organized and ready to assign or customize to suit your course.
- All online resources for the text in one location, including an interactive e-book, LearningCurve adaptive quizzing (see below), videos, all instructor resources, and more.
- Intuitive and useful analytics, with a Gradebook that lets you see how your class is doing individually and as a whole.
- A streamlined and intuitive interface that lets you build an entire course in minutes.
- Developing Lives, a robust and sophisticated, interactive experience in which each student “raises” a virtual child from sperm-and-egg to teenager. Fully-integrated into LaunchPad, Developing Lives includes a variety of pedagogical resources, including more than 200 videos and animations (many new to this project) plus quizzes and essay questions that are easy to assign and assess. The Part Openers in the Eleventh Edition now include an additional table that connects the ages in Developing Lives with the corresponding child development parts in Berger.
Data Connections: Exclusively on Launch Pad. In each chapter, students have an opportunity to expand their understanding of key topics and data interactively. From interactive maps showing rates of breastfeeding and immunization across the country (and around the world), to manipulatable graphs showing trends in adolescent risk-taking behaviors, these activities offer students a new hands-on-approach to understanding the data in child development themselves.
Available in LaunchPad, two guides link the content of the lifespan childhood and adolescence course to key student career areas—early-childhood development and nursing—by correlating the Eleventh Edition and its test bank to the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) standards and NCLEX RN licensure exam.
LearningCurve
In a game-like format, LearningCurve adaptive and formative quizzing gets students involved and engaged in their coursework. It offers:
- A unique learning path for each student, with quizzes shaped by each individual’s correct and incorrect answers.
- A Personalized Study Plan, to guide students’ preparation for class and for exams.
- Feedback for each question with live links to relevant e-book pages, guiding students to the reading they need to do to improve their areas of weakness.
Instructor’s Resource
Instructor resources are available in Launchpad including videos, lecture slide sets, and test bank.

Authors

Kathleen Stassen Berger
Kathleen Stassen Berger received her undergraduate education at Stanford University and Radcliffe College, earned an M.A.T. from Harvard University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Yeshiva University. Her broad experience as an educator includes directing a preschool, serving as chair of philosophy at the United Nations International School, teaching child and adolescent development to graduate students at Fordham University and undergraduates at Montclair State University in New Jersey and at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, as well as teaching social psychology to inmates at Sing Sing Prison. Throughout most of her professional career, Berger has worked at Bronx Community College of the City University of New York, first as an adjunct and for the past two decades as a full professor. She has taught introduction to psychology, child and adolescent development, adulthood and aging, social psychology, abnormal psychology, and human motivation. Her students—who come from many ethnic, economic, and educational backgrounds and who have a wide range of ages and interests—consistently honor her with the highest teaching evaluations.
Berger is also the author of The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence and Invitation to the Life Span. Her developmental texts are currently being used at more than 700 colleges and universities worldwide and are available in Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as English. Her research interests include adolescent identity, immigration, and bullying, and she has published many articles on developmental topics in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Psychology and in publications of the American Association for Higher Education and the National Education Association for Higher Education. She continues teaching and learning as her four daughters and three grandsons continue to develop, as she interacts with students every semester, and as she revises each edition of her books.
