title: On sleep and development: recent advances and future directions.
abstract: The authors of the monograph discuss conceptual and methodological issues in the study of sleep-behavior associations, report on the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques for assessing sleep in infants and children, and suggest the importance of examining sleep-behavior relations across multiple disciplines of influence. The primary focus of this commentary is to highlight how these new perspectives contribute to our emerging understanding of sleep-behavior relations in infancy and childhood, as well as to propose further challenges and avenues for future research.
