PS 2160 - Life-Span Development

Humans all begin in the same manner and develop in a similar pattern physically, cognitively, and emotionally when all the elements are perfect. In this course we look at that development from conception through the end of life in a quick overview of what it takes to become the people we know or want to be. We look at the aspects of life that make things work properly as well as the things that could cause life to go in a different direction. This course includes theories of physical, psychological development, learning, social and environmental factors that influence the growth of a people throughout their life times.
