Developmental Psychology After the Grand Theories
PSY2207.01
Course Description
Summary
Comprehensive theories in developmental psychology posited relatively abrupt structural changes in children's thinking in the course of childhood. These theories have been supplanted, in large part, by basic research documenting gradual changes in children's development. In this course the grand theories (Piaget, Freud, and attachment theory and evolutionary psychology) will be reviewed along with current findings which challenge their scope and reach. Topics will include cognitive, emotional and social development from infancy through adolescence.Prerequisites
None.
