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 | A combination of laboratory reports and examinations, with the laboratory reports being weighted at least 40% of the total assessment. Attendance at 80% or more of the laboratory classes is a hurdle requirement. (In case of failure to meet the hurdle requirement, additional work will be required before a passing grade can be awarded.) |
