STEPHANIE THORNTON taught Developmental Psychology for 25 years at the University of Sussex. Her research has covered a broad range of topics in social and cognitive development, with a focus on the processes through which new ideas, new understanding and new behaviours develop in both children and adults: theoretically intriguing topics that also have real practical implications. She is the author of Children Solving Problems (Harvard University Press, 1998) and Growing Minds (Palgrave, 2002) as well as Understanding Human Development (Palgrave, 2008). TEODORA GLIGA joined the School of Psychology at the University of East Anglia in 2018. In her research, she focuses on understanding how young humans succeed in acquiring huge amounts of knowledge despite limited attention and memory. In particular, she investigates the role that caregivers and the children themselves have in actively creating learning experiences.
