About this course

This introductory course will focus on how humans grow and change over the course of their lives, but with a particular focus on child development. Various areas of Developmental Psychology will be explored, as we will look at how innate mechanisms (nature) and life experiences (nurture) impact upon development.

What will be covered on the course?

Different areas of Developmental Psychology will be studied, including prenatal and early postnatal development, cognitive development, emotional development, theory of mind, attachment theory, and language development. The course will cover many famous studies and theories, as well as contemporary issues, with a main focus on childhood, a period during which the most change occurs.

What will learners achieve by the end of the course?

Learners will understand what development and Developmental Psychology is. They will discover and discuss several key experiments and studies as well as the theories behind them, including the work of famous developmental psychologists such as Piaget. Contemporary research will also be considered.

What skills or knowledge do learners already need to have to attend the course?

No previous knowledge is required or assumed.
