Developmental Psychology 


Developmental psychology studies how humans grow and change

 throughout their lives, focusing on physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development from infancy to adulthood. Key areas include:


1. **Physical Development**:How the body grows and changes, including height, weight, motor skills, and brain growth.



2. **Cognitive Development**: How thinking, learning, and problem-solving abilities evolve, covering areas like language acquisition and memory.



3. **Social Development**: How individuals interact, form relationships, and develop a sense of identity.



  • 4. **Emotional Development**: How emotions change over time and how individuals learn to manage them.












Developmental psychologists use a variety of research methods to study these topics, including:


  • Observation: Observing children and adults in natural settings.


  • Experiments: Conducting controlled experiments to test specific hypotheses.

  • Case studies: In-depth studies of individual individuals.

  • Surveys: Collecting data from large groups of people using questionnaires.
