Developmental Psychology: Prenatal and Infancy

Catalog description

In this course, students will focus on child development from conception through age two, a period characterized by rapid growth. Students will explore what development is, the role that both nature and nurture--including culture--play, and its major milestones. Special emphasis is given to understanding what puts infants and toddlers at risk, its long-term consequences, and what can be done to enrich their development.
