Developmental Psychology

Developmental psychology is concerned with change and stability across the life-span. Developmental psychologists answer questions about how behaviour is organised and how it changes with age.

What is the nature and significance of temperament over the life span?
How should we diagnose and deal with dyscalculia?
How do children acquire understanding of fractions and algebra?
