What are the 3 changes that developmental psychology studies?Developmental psychologists aim to explain how thinking, feeling, and behaviors change throughout life. This field examines change across three major dimensions, which are physical development, cognitive development, and social emotional development.
What is the lifespan of development stage as focus of study?Lifespan development explores how we change and grow from conception to death. This field of psychology is studied by developmental psychologists. They view development as a lifelong process that can be studied scientifically across three developmental domains: physical, cognitive development, and psychosocial.
What is lifespan development theory psychology?Life-span developmental theory concerns. the study of individual development, or ontogenesis, from conception to death.
