The field of psychology is increasingly being enriched by contributions from those from non-English speaking countries. Kar (behavioral and cognitive sciences, U. of Allahabad, India) compiles insights from East and West on the developing brain and cognitive processes. From diverse cultural and methodological perspectives, contributors discuss the development of attention and control, then treat specifics of these foundational processes, including findings and intervention implications from brain imaging studies in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism, and the development of consciousness and language. Based on proceedings of the International Conference on Cognitive Development held in 2010 at the editor's campus. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
