Developmental psychology = the scientific study of changes or continuities in an organism between initial conception and death. We will focus on early human development (child development) How behaviours change over a time period, and describe the change. Also interested in the processes and what influences the change. We will mainly focus on basic research and classic theoretical issues in child psychology, but will also touch upon some applied issues. Basic research seeks to understand development for the sake of science (does not always have a direct practical application) Applied research has a clear practical application (can be used immediately)
