PSYC 357 - Lifespan Development

Institution:

Gonzaga University

Subject:

PSYCHOLOGY

Description:

Lifespan development explores the physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional changes that humans experience across the lifespan from birth through old age. In the course we will address questions such as: Is development continuous or discontinuous? Are we the product of nature or nurture? Do all people follow a similar trajectory or is human development marked by diversity? Drawing on developmental, social and cognitive psychology, and an understanding of development milestones of each age period, in the course as we investigate development we will pay special attention to the roles of parents, peers, schools, and socioeconomic contexts in those processes.
