Test Bank For Life-Span Human Development, 10th Edition by Carol K. Sigelman and Elizabeth A. Rider provides a comprehensive examination of human development from infancy through old age. Cengage describes the text as combining topical and chronological approaches, with individual chapters examining developmental domains across different periods of the lifespan. The 10th edition also expands its examination of biological and sociocultural influences on development.
An original study companion can help learners review developmental theories and research methods alongside major topics such as genes and environment, prenatal development and birth, physical development and health, sensation and perception, cognition, memory and learning, intelligence and creativity, language, education and work, personality, gender and sexuality, social cognition, moral development, emotions, attachment, social relationships, family, developmental psychopathology, and death and dying.
The resource can reinforce the interplay between nature and nurture while encouraging learners to consider biological, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental influences on development. Original practice scenarios can help students apply developmental concepts, compare developmental patterns, and strengthen critical-thinking skills.
Students can use the companion alongside textbook chapters, lectures, classroom activities, and independent study. Cengage also provides MindTap for the 10th edition, incorporating readings, activities, self-assessments, case studies, and other learning resources.
