Visual and Motor Cognition in Infants and Children

Christiane Lange-Küttner is a senior scientist who investigates spatial concepts and special needs of children. She currently works as Head of the BMBF reasearch project 'INSIDE – Inclusion in and after lower secondary tier in Germany' at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories in Bamberg and as associate faculty at the University of Bremen, Germany. She is adjunct associate professor at the University of Nicosia, Cyprus. Chris was a post-doc research fellow in the Cognitive Science Lab at the Department of Experimental Psychology of the Free University of Berlin. She then became faculty at the Psychology Departments of the University of Aberdeen and London Metropolitan University, UK, and worked as professor of Developmental Psychology at the Universities of Konstanz and Greifswald, Germany.

'A comprehensive synthesis of classic theory and cutting-edge research, Visual and Motor Cognition in Infants and Children: What Develops and What Stays the Same is a one-stop shop for novice and expert researchers alike. Lange-Küttner’s clear and thorough descriptions are a boon to the field'.Professor Stuart Marcovitch, UNC Greensboro, North Carolina, USA'The book Visual and Motor Cognition in Infants and Children: What Develops and What Stays the Same ties together the development of visual, motor, and spatial cognition in the child: a very much needed endeavour, in the perspective of a unified science of cognitive development'.Professor Sergio Morra, Università di Genova, Italy
