PSYC 201 Developmental Psychology I
3 Credits

Gain insight into your own history and learn about what your life will be like as you grow through the adult years. This is the first half of a two-semester course in lifespan developmental psychology. Following an introduction to research methods and theories and a review of genetics and prenatal development, we examine development in infancy, early childhood and middle childhood, from physical, cognitive and psychosocial points of view. The focus is on the normal process of development; however, whenever relevant, atypical development is discussed. Whenever possible, the influence of culture and diversity on development throughout the lifespan is examined.
