Developmental Psychology

This course is intended to describe and explain the changes in bodies, minds, and behavior of people that occur from conception until death. While emphasis is placed on the early years of most rapid change, appropriate topics are covered throughout the life span. This course explores physical, cognitive, and socioemotional milestones across the lifespan and theories about various kinds of development. Attention is also paid to factors that contribute to individual differences and atypical development. Prerequisite: Psychology 101WL or 101NL
