PSYCH 785: Developmental Processes
3
This course will review and discuss major conceptual approaches to the study of development through the lifespan, from conception to death, in the domains of cognition, personality, and social-emotional processes. The course will draw on theories and research in the physical and social sciences. Important empirical studies will be reviewed and their strengths, limitations, and implications for theories of normative and successful human development will be discussed. The course will meet three broad objectives: (1) develop an appreciation for the existing psychological research on human development; (2) foster critical reflection about the current status and future directions; and (3) develop research background specific to the students' own areas of development psychology interest.
Admission to the MS Psychology program or consent of instructor.
