2010-2011 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

PSYC 336 - Cognitive and Affective Behavior

Type of Course: Graduate Seminar
This course is firmly research-based but goes beyond the recounting of research to examine the specific pertinence of different findings for understanding normal and atypical child development. Cognitive development research is a major area of developmental psychology that investigates the acquisition of knowledge in children. It describes and explains systematic changes in children’s knowledge about the physical and the social worlds and in their use of cultural tools (e.g., language, writing, and number). Cognition involves a large array of mental processes-perceiving objects and events, problem-solving, reasoning, creativity, using language, conceptualizing, remembering, classifying, symbolizing, understanding others’ intentions, and many others.
