GRN 318 - Adult Development and Aging

This advanced course surveys human development from post-adolescence through old age, including death and dying research. The study of adult development and aging addresses physical, cognitive and social-emotional growth as a set of dynamically interacting features of adult development, shaped by genes and environment. These topics will be addressed by exploring contemporary research in psychology, medicine and gerontology. Students will also explore current issues and debates in applied adult development research. There is an emphasis on being able to critically evaluate trends in methodology and application of development research.
