Developmental Psychology is more of an approach to the study of psychology than it is a topic area. Developmental psychologists examine many of the same topics studied by cognitive, social, clinical, neuro- and other types of psychologists, but they do so from a unique perspective: change over time.  In this class, we will learn about milestones in human development in the areas of language, cognition, emotion, socialization, and personality. We will also examine the processes by which developmental changes occur in these areas.
