How Humans Develop: Birth to Old Age
Infants look helpless, but research proves they have capabilities from day one. Developmental psychology asks: How do those capabilities unfold? How do babies learn to attach to caregivers, communicate, and think about the world? What happens during adolescence and later life? Understanding these milestones helps you recognize what's normal and what might need attention.
This course is grounded in real science—not assumptions. You'll learn what researchers actually know about development (and what they're still figuring out), and why asking these questions matters for parents, educators, and anyone working with people across the lifespan.
Best for: Psychology students, educators, parents, child development professionals, and anyone curious about human growth and change.
About this course
Have you ever wondered what babies are capable of from the moment they're born?
Developmental psychology is the study of an individual's social, emotional, cognitive, and biological development through his or her lifespan. The focus of this course will be from infancy to later life.
This psychology course will examine how babies and young children develop the ability to function in our world, including their attachment to their caregivers, and their ability to communicate and think about the world. We will also cover specific changes during adolescence and later life.
You should take this course if you are curious to understand what we know about infants' abilities, how we know it, and about the important milestones that we all pass through as we develop.
