"This book is a welcome addition to an already popular area of research and certainly deserves to become a project to be updated and re-released over the years." (PsycCritiques, April 25, 2007)

"[This proposal] by Charles Nelson, Kathleen Thomas, and Michelle deHaan is accessible, highly readable, and also very informative."

"The strengths of this manuscript include the content and the quality of the writing. It is very, very clear. Even difficult concepts are communicated clearly and concisely (for instance, this is one of the best treatments of MRI I have ever read)."
—Janet Werker, Univeristy of British Columbia

"I think it is a great project that will make an excellent textbook. . . . I was very pleased with the way it handled a number of complex issues. . ."

"This prospectus presents a very readable state-of-the-art account of the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience."

"I think these two components of the project [connection made between brain and behavior, explanation of why all developmental psychologists need to know this material] will ensure its success as a textbook."--Amy Needham, Duke University

"In my opinion, this book is likely to be a truly outstanding summary of what is known about the relation between brain development and cognition. Charles Nelson is the primary authority on this topic, and Michelle deHaan is also a recognized authority."
—Judy deLoache, University of Virginia
