PSY1110: Developmental Psychology I

Abstract

This course is an introduction to perceptual, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development in children and adolescents. Specific topics to be covered include sensory, intellectual, language, personality, and moral development. We will discuss leading theorists and examine their writings. We will also survey methods of developmental research and review classic and recent findings. Students will study how developmental psychology is learned from, and applied to, real life situations. Finally, this is a “blended course” involving significant web-based learning.
