Sleep Neuroscience and the Practice of Developmental Change

About this Book

Readers encounter sleep neuroscience through the revealing and sometimes contested perspective of developmental change. The planned chapters distinguish mechanisms from metaphors empirical findings from predictions and strong evidence from plausible conjecture. The emphasis is on sleep neuroscience viewed through developmental change with primary research experimental methods ecological or clinical context and explanatory graphics. Which claims can be tested independently and which remain interpretive?

Editorial Details

Editorial Scope

Investigate sleep neuroscience in relation to developmental change within the Neuroscience and Cognition series. Explain definitions and historical or theoretical foundations compare specific settings and competing interpretations appraise primary research experimental methods ecological or clinical context and explanatory graphics. Define the geographical or disciplinary boundary before commissioning and avoid overlap with adjacent proposals.

Core Book Concept

Central proposition: the intersection of sleep neuroscience and developmental change requires a distinct line of inquiry not a change of subtitle on a general survey. Organize a verifiable argument around which claims can be tested independently and which remain interpretive? Use contrasting cases disclose methodological limits and deliver original tables or figures that illuminate the problem. Priority evidence: primary research experimental methods ecological or clinical context and explanatory graphics.
