PSY 317 - Adult Development & Aging

2 Hour(s)
This course provides an introduction into the concept that adult development and aging is just one part of the life span. A person’s chronological age as well as his or her life experiences are important considerations in understanding the person as a whole. A discussion of research methods used in adult development research will also be examined (e.g., age effects, cohort effects, and time-of-measurement). Normal development is emphasized; however, special human circumstances are also explored.
