Psychology is the study of human behavior and thought. Developmental psychology examines both of those within the context of human growth and maturation. Most human development takes place early in life, especially in utero. However, development is a lifelong process. In this summer class we will concentrate more on early development, but we will also look at the end of life as well. Throughout the term, we will break development down into categories of: physical, cognitive, and social. Because this is a summer class, time is at a premium. Be sure not to miss class.
