Courses

Prerequisites: Science of Psychology (PSYC 1001), Mind, Brain, & Behavior (PSYC 1010), or an equivalent Introductory Psychology course is required, plus permission of the instructor.

This course will explore the theory and methods underlying lifespan development: the cognitive and neural changes that we undergo from even before birth until the end of life. Each week will focus on a different broad time period in the life of a person, and introduce a major research method used in the study of human development. Topics will range from prenatal development and epigenetics to late-life brain changes and neuroimaging.
