New Content: More than 800 21st century citations complement a greater emphasis on culture and diversity, evolutionary psychology, and the positive aspects of child development. More than 60 new research figures present data visually, in an accessible manner.
Learning Goals System: The learning goals are presented as objectives for students to accomplish by the end of each chapter. They are stated at the beginning of each chapter in tandem with a chapter outline/map of key headings; revisited in the "Review and Reflect" summary that concludes each section of a chapter; and finally summarized in a "Reach Your Learning Goals" end-of-chapter visual. All the supplements now reflect the text's new learning goals system.
Visual Assets Database for Lifespan Development (VAD): This new supplement provides hundreds of video clips, audio clips, photos, and Web links to adopters of McGraw-Hill books. Visit www.mhhe.com/vad for more information.
Media Integration: Free with every new copy of the textbook, the LifeMap CD-ROM includes video clips from McGraw-Hill's Visual Assets Database (VAD) and from Discovery Channel/McGraw-Hill Media Resources for Teaching Psychology. The CD-ROM also includes test questions with feedback, summaries of each video clip, and suggested websites for further information. These media resources are referenced in the book, and a number of test bank questions reference these video clips.
More Depth in Research Descriptions: These revisions were carried out throughout the text, with a careful eye toward explaining theory and research in very understandable ways.
