Cognitive Development

Catalog description

What goes on in the minds of children? How do they learn about and make sense of the world around them? The goal of this course is to explore central issues in the study of cognitive development. We will review theoretical frameworks for understanding how thinking changes over time and discuss specific aspects of children's thinking, including how they perceive the world, what they learn and remember, and how they solve problems and gain the kind of knowledge that adults may take for granted. Keywords: Development, Psychology, Learning
