Answer 1

hello,

As I am a fake psychology student, I am inclined to answer this question in a manner that feigns knowledge of the subject matter.

Developmental psychology is the study of psychological AND physical changes across a human lfespan.

Now, a bunch of psychologists called behaviouralists believe that only that which is displayed outwardly and can thus be monitored by another person, is worth recording and drawing inferences from. Cognitive psychologists believe that it is possible to study behaviour AND create cognitive models to suggest HOW people come to behave.

Piaget and Kohlberg are 2 cognitive wotsits who contributed to the 'how cognitive development in children changes across time' field. Piaget believed that such changes are quantitative in nature and can be viewed as distinct stages and 'The theoretical perspective of cognitive structuralism posits an innate developmental structure in the intellectual maturation of humans—irrespective of cultural or religious background.'

Preoperational Period: 2-7 years
In moral-ethical realm, the child is not able to show principles underlying best behavior. Rules of a game not develop, only uses simple do's and don'ts imposed by authority.

'Lawrence Kohlberg (1981, 1984) identified three levels of moral thinking with two stages at each level—six stages in all. The key to his schema is increased capacity to role-take. James Fowler followed Kohlberg's work with a six-stage model of faith development, emphasizing sophistication in understanding symbolism and in perception of authority. All six stages may occur within any religion; the stages refer to the cognitive processing of symbols and myths, not to the specific content of a faith.'

I'd recommend you read up further on what Kohlberg has to say.

Answer 2

Sort of. It's how human behavior changes from birth to old age.
Includes some theories of personality development too.
Read the course description in a college catalog;The course is called "Developmental Psychology" and is usually a required course for school teachers. Go to a public library and borrow a book on the subject. Suggest that you also get one on "Psychology of Personality" too. Lots of theories.
