Institution: Pitzer

Description: Using evidence obtained in studies of humans and other animals, this course will examine brain development, behavioral development, and the relationship between the two. It will focus on the numerous factors that contribute to the cognitive, perceptual, and behavioral changes that characterize human development from conception through the acquisition of language. Among the specific psychological domains we will study are the development of object and face perception, memory, social interactions, and language. Attention will be given to genetic, cellular, epigenetic, and environmental contributors to normal development, and risk factors for some psychological disorders will also be considered.
