This unit will cover key issues in psychological development across the human lifespan. It aims to increase students' knowledge and understanding of human development and its content will reflect the view that human behaviour, throughout life, is multiply determined by the interaction of both environmental and constitutional influences. For instance, family atmosphere, socioeconomic status, schooling, temperament and cognitive and physical attributes. Deviations from so-called normal development in cognitive, social, emotional and interpersonal domains will be examined with the aim of identifying learning or intervention strategies for maximising human potential and well-being.
On completion of this unit on human development across the lifespan students will be able to:
