Subject Description

This subject will examine social, affective and cognitive development in infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. It will be divided into two interrelated themes: one focussing primarily on the development of individual cognitive, language, problem solving and reasoning competencies and the other focusing on the development of social and affective functioning. Contemporary theories as well as recent and historical accounts of development will be reviewed. The unifying focus of the subject will be an analysis of methods for describing stability and change in developmental processes.

Assessment
