This class aims to study the development of children's thinking from infancy to adolescence. We will examine the change processes through which development occurs, as well as the nature of the changes in language, perception, memory, and conceptual understanding that mark cognitive development. This class helps students to understand the ways in which children learn and develop. The textbook includes many fascinating examples of children's thinking and beliefs as well as their abilities. This class is highly recommended for those who are interested in English language education for children, as knowledge gained in this class will be applicable to teaching English to young learners.
