| Summary |
"Nora Newcombe and Janellen Huttenlocher argue for an interactionist approach to spatial development that incorporates and integrates essential insights of the classic three approaches. They show how biological preparedness interacts with the spatial environment that infants encounter shortly after birth to create spatial development and mature spatial competence."--BOOK JACKET |
