Originally concerned with infants and children, and later other periods of great change such as adolescence and aging, it now encompasses the entire life span.
This field examines change across a broad range of topics including motor skills and other psycho-physiological processes, problem solving abilities, conceptual understanding, acquisition of language, moral understanding, and identity formation.
