Authored by Laura Berk, MyDevelopmentLab for Exploring Lifespan Development engages students through personalized learning, and helps them better prepare for class, quizzes, and exams.
It also helps instructors with course preparation, content delivery, and assessment. To learn more about pricing options and customization, click on the Order Info tab. Laura Berk, renowned professor and researcher, has revised the text with new pedagogy, a heightened emphasis on the interplay between biology and environment, and an enhanced focus on many social policy issues, while emphasizing the lifespan perspective throughout.
The latest theories and findings in the field are made accessible to students in a manageable and relevant way. Students are provided with an especially clear and coherent understanding of the sequence and underlying processes of human development, emphasizing the interrelatedness of all domains—physical, cognitive, emotional, social—throughout the text narrative and in special features.
Berk also helps students connect their learning to their personal and professional areas of interest. Cancel Delete. Cancel Overwrite Save. Don't wait!

Berk speaks directly to students, as parents or future parents and to those pursuing different careers and areas of study, such as health care, teaching, social work, or counseling. Exceptional Integration of Culture and Diversity Multicultural and cross-cultural material is presented not only in the text's research and in many positive and diverse examples, but also through rich photos and figures, which enhance student interest and understanding.
Cultural Influences boxes deepen the attention to culture threaded throughout the text and accentuate both multicultural and cross-cultural variations in development. Milestones tables summarize major physical, cognitive, language, emotional, and social attainments of each age period. In addition to offering an overview of change, each entry is page-referenced to provide the student with a convenient tool for review. Ask Yourself critical thinking questions have been thoroughly revised and expanded into a unique pedagogical feature.
Three types of questions prompt students to think about human development in diverse ways: Connect questions help students build an image of the whole person by integrating what they have learned across age periods and domains of development. Apply questions encourage application of knowledge to controversial issues and problems faced by children, adolescents, adults, and professionals who work with them.
Reflect questions personalize the study of human development by asking students to reflect on their own development, life experiences, and values. Four Types of Thematic Boxes Biology and Environment boxes highlight the growing attention to the complex, bidirectional relationship between biology and environment.
Social Issues boxes discuss the impact of social conditions on children, adolescents, and adults, and emphasize the need for sensitive social and public policies to ensure their well-being. They are divided into two types: Social Issues: Health boxes address values and practices relevant to physical and mental health, while Social Issues: Education boxes focus on home, school, and community influences on learning.
New to This Edition Known for staying current, Exploring Lifespan Development presents the most relevant research and applications in Human Development today. Highlights include the following features. The gradebook helps students track progress and get immediate feedback. Automatically graded assessments flow into the Gradebook, which can be viewed in MyLab Human Development or exported.
The eText allows students to highlight relevant passages and add notes. Multimedia simulations include NEW topics, with simulations designed by author Laura Berk to seamlessly complement the text. Careers in Human Development explains how studying human development is essential for a wide range of career paths.
This tool features more than 25 career overviews, which contain interviews with actual practitioners, educational requirements, typical day-to-day activities, and links to websites for additional information. MyVirtualLife is a pair of interactive web-based simulations.
The first allows students to rear a child from birth to age 18 and monitor the effects of their parenting decisions over time.
