Developmental psychology is the branch of psychology that focuses on how people grow
and change over the course of a lifetime. Those who specialize in this field are not just
concerned with the physical changes that occur as people grow; they also look at the
social, emotional, and cognitive development that occurs throughout life.
Some of the many issues that developmental
psychologists may help patients deal with include:
Motor skill development
Language acquisition
Emotional development
The emergence of self-awareness and self-concept
Cognitive development during childhood and throughout life
Social and cultural influences on child development
Personality development
