Dev. Reading List - University of Notre Dame



Developmental Reading List Fall 1999

The following reading list contains information we believe central to developmental psychology; however, by its very nature the list is incomplete and by no means exhaustive. You are expected to read articles, chapters, and books not on this list in preparation for your preliminary exams. The purpose of the list is to provide a starting point for your independent perusal of the literature in developmental psychology. Use the list to help organize your understanding of developmental psychology; to identify important themes in the field; and to locate other articles, chapters and books.
