The course examines key developmental events across the main domains in developmental psychology (physical, cognitive, socioemotional), from conception through late adolescence. Questions about development are investigated, with an emphasis on the role of the scientific method. Typical and atypical psychological development is explored via research studies in addition to contextual influences of culture, society, family, and physical environments on children's behavior and mental processes from globally inclusive perspectives. Additionally, this course provides a scientific foundation for future studies in social sciences, including psychology.
