PSY 379 Life Span Development
This course examines psychological development from conception to late adulthood. Multiple theoretical perspectives will be discussed, as well as various components of human development (cognitive, psychosocial, physical, etc.). In addition, to learning the key developmental sequences that occur across the lifespan, students will learn about the mechanisms by which these changes occur and how psychologists study them. Additional emphasis will be placed on examining human development within and across contexts and cultures in order for students to come to a better understanding about biological, psychological, social, and cultural contributors to development. Prerequisite: PSY 201.
