'Developmental Science looks to have positioned itself as an outlet for high-quality research of both an empirical and theoretical nature. It is consistent from issue to issue, conveying a serious and confident image of an active field. .... Academic developmental psychologists will wish to visit its pages regularly, and cognitive psychologist, linguists, philosophers and developmental biologists should keep an eye on it'.
