The Five to seven year shift: the age of reason and responsibility

Abstract

With increasing numbers of children suffering emotional, educational, and social failure on entering school, the years from five to seven have returned to prominence in developmental psychology. This volume collects current research on child behaviour in the school transition years. Researchers in neurology, sociology, anthropology, education, and psychology assess, in this text, what is now commonly known as the five to seven year shift. They consider how development is influenced by changes in neurobiological subsystems; cognition, emotion, and self-concept; concerns with peers and families; and school and cultural practices.
