Affects, Cognition, and Language as Foundations of Human Development

Affects, Cognition, and Language as Foundations of Human Development considers human development from the three most basic systems-affects (our earliest feelings), cognition, and language. Holinger explores how these systems enhance potential and help prevent problems, both in individuals and in societies.
