AS Course > Developmental

Developmental psychology is concerned with how children and adults change as they get older. Developmental psychology looks at various influences on development, such as the influences of parents, peers, and other people around you. These are all environmental influences (called nurture). Changes also happen as a consequence of nature. Nature refers to biological factors such as genes.
