Hi folks, Many thanks to those of you who provided suggestions regarding publications to consider including in a developmental psychology reader. I'm enclosing the information I provided the colleague who is thinking of creating the reader. As you'll see, I've included your feedback. I've also suggested a variety of sources he might use to identify (1) significant authors whose work should be represented, (2) specific works he might consider including, and (3) key concepts whose originators might be appropriate to include as authors. I've asked my colleague to use the suggested sources, among others, to identify his significant authors. Then we'll focus on the specific readings. So this project is just getting out of the starting gate. Assuming he decides to carry it through, I imagine I'll have a publications list to share with you later in the summer. One of the things I discovered was that there are several recent developmental psych readers out there already. Certainly it will be interesting to see what they've included--and how different or similar their coverage may be from what my colleague ultimately decides on. So thanks again. The initial information follows. Miriam Miriam E.

FROM TIPS (Teaching in the Psychological Sciences) ELECTRONIC DISCUSSION LISTS >From RICK STEVENS (Psychology Dept, Northeast Louisiana University) I don't teach developmental, but as a general strategy I would suggest looking in one of the harder (larger) intro psych books. What they reference is likely to be the "classic" references. ***** From: WALLACE E. DIXON, JR. (Dept of Psychology, Heidelberg College) Darwin's Diary of a Baby is a classic. Bowlby & Ainsworth on attachment is also very popularly cited. In terms of longer reads, pretty much all of Piaget's stuff rises to the top (especially his trilogy). Erikson's (1950ish) "Childhood and Society." Also Vygotsky's two volumes "Language and Thought" and his 1978 book (the title of which is beyond my grasp). ***** From: TASHA R. HOWE (Psychology Dept, Transylvania University) Has your colleague looked on McGraw-Hill's Webpage? They have a great service with hundreds of articles listed that you just click on the articles you want and they make a reader up for you and send it to you for free! Mary Gauvain at U.C. Riverside has also compiled a developmental collection to accompany Cole and Cole's textbook "the development of children" from Freeman Press. You can purchase the reader separately as well. I'm sure JM Baldwin, Charles Darwin, and Arnold Gessell may not be high on the list, but their initial contributions to developmental psych.leave lasting effects on all of our conceptualizations of development. ***** From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe that Judith Harris' article should be considered. ********** 2. From SLU Psychology Faculty From: JUDITH GIBBONS Check with SRCD to see if they have such a compilation. ***** From: JANET KUEBLI I would include under books Vygotsky's Thought and Language, and his Mind in Society; and of course something by Piaget and something by Bowlby. Other suggestions would be to contact SRCD and see if they don't already have a list that overlaps with this request, or to check several child psych text books. ********** 3.
