其他摘要：This paper is a review of studies on children in infancy, early and middle-childhood, published in Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology, Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, Japanese Journal of Psychology, Japanese Psychological Review over the last year (from July 2013 to June 2014) and proceedings of the 56th annual meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology. Studies reviewed represented seven content areas : cognitive development, social cognition, social development, interactions between children and their mothers, studies on parents, studies on educational practice, and studies on developmental disability. My personal comments including suggestions about future research were added to each study. After reviewing those studies, I particularly addressed the importance of collaboration between researchers and school teachers in education-related field studies and the impact of emotion on cognitive process as a future research direction.
