{"product_id":"infants-sense-of-people-maria-legerstee-9780521818483","title":"Infants' Sense of People","description":"Drawing on a broad range of research and developmental theory and focusing on infants during their first year of life, Maria Legerstee asserts that they have an innate sense of people at birth, which is activated through sympathetic emotions. She questions the idea that infants use physical parameters such as contingencies or motion to distinguish people from objects, and rejects the assumption that infants are mechanical creatures before they become psychological ones. She argues persuasively that before infants learn to speak, interactions with others are possible because infants have a primitive pre-linguistic 'theory of mind'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Legerstee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521818486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521818483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.38w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 378","brand":"Maria Legerstee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422334959871,"sku":"9780521818483","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30c63b1c-aaff-4953-91d5-3a1e610e6d9f.jpg?v=1761527635","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/infants-sense-of-people-maria-legerstee-9780521818483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
