Overview
During childhood and adolescence human development is taking place at a phenomenal pace, with children learning
many of the skills that are crucial to their current and future emotional well being, relationships and
cognitive functioning. This module explores the complex biological, psychological and cultural factors that
influence this developmental process. The module introduces and critiques the major theories of developmental
psychology that underpin understanding of this developmental process. Lectures span all aspects of child
development from birth through adolescence pointing to important methodological issues and gaps in our current
understanding.
