This course covers the major cognitive theories and research findings on the development of children's thinking from infancy to adolescence. Students will examine the nature and processes of change in six domains of knowledge: language, perception, memory, conceptual understanding, problem-solving and academic skills. Emphasis will be made on evaluating the practical implications of these cognitive theories and research.
