This course provides a broad overview of theory and research on human growth and development across life span. In this second segment of the Developmental Psychology sequence, we will examine the physical, cognitive, socioemotional, and moral development from early childhood to late adulthood. As we review the research in human development and discuss key developmental theorists and theories, we will keep a critical eye on the impact of culture and language on development. To that end, we will bring in examples from the fields of anthropology and sociology. As such, we will arrive at a comprehensive account of human development across life span that neither sidelines the universal aspects of human development nor disregards their relationships to society and culture. It is expected that you will develop a deeper understanding of human development.
