Review Quotes:
"...the findings presented in this text are dicidedly rich, the result of some creative experimental designs and observational techniques."
--Contemporary Psychology
"...provides a readable, even-handed approach to the nature of intentionality by providing converging evidence from language development, comparative, and social psychology."
--Child Development Abstracts and Bibliography
"Because each chapter in Zelazo, Astington, and Olson's book takes a different approach to answering the questions: What is intentionality? and How does intentionality influence development?, all of the chapters, taken together, present a very broad and, indeed, a very rich account. the principal attration of the book is in this very richness, with its diversity in focus and interpretation."
