Developmental Psychology

Catalog description

Developmental psychology is the study of constancy and change over time. As humans, we have the capacity to learn and change throughout the entirety our lifespans. We will examine not only the physical and behavioral changes that people experience throughout their lives, but also the socioemotional and cognitive changes. We will further explore the effects of culture, environment, and access to resources on human development. Special emphasis will be placed upon applying this knowledge to real-world situations.
