Information about fees and unit costs
In this unit, the focus is on child development, with an emphasis on the infant and the child up to adolescence. Students review images of children and the unfolding of their cognitive abilities within the cadre of theories of cognitive development. Among the areas studied are the nature and development of memory, the development of numerical thinking, and children's ability to understand another's view of the world. In addition to these topics a substantial part of the unit is concerned with the acquisition (both normal and atypical) of language, including the acquisition of language in the bilingual child.
