Developmental psychologists use a lifespan approach in studying
human development. You will learn more about the stages of
development as you work through the course. Developmental
psychologists have divided human development into these stages.
Think about the stages and rank them according to the one you are
most interested in learning about (1), all the way to the stage you are
least interested in learning about (6). If you are equally interested in
some of the stages, indicate this with the same number (3). Briefly
explain your choices.
