| | Developmental psychologists are concerned primarily with how the human mind/personality changes over the course of a lifetime, from its conception and intrauterine development through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. | | | One such theorist was the Swiss zoologist and psychologist Jean Piaget, who revolutionized developmental psychology with his theories of intellectual, or cognitive, development. | | | Initially, developmental psychologists focused primarily on childhood development, believing that with adulthood came a kind of personality stasis. |

| | As with other areas of psychology, the specific changes investigated by developmental psychologists are ultimately understandable in the context of some theory; that is, a broad framework or body of principles that can be used to interpret the changes. | | | By development, psychologists mean changes over time in characteristics such as physiology, emotion, perception, cognition, and memory, particularly as the change relates to periods like infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. | | | The questions of greatest current interest to developmental psychologists are whether development is continuous or discontinuous and to what extent genetics, physiology, and external environment (i.e., nature vs. nurture) influence the course of development. |

| | Key Concepts in Developmental Psychology - Eric Schwitzgebel |
| | In "Representation and Desire: A Philosophical Error with Consequences for Theory-of-Mind Research", I argue that developmental psychologists have conflated two significantly different approaches to representation available in the philosophical literature and that this has led them to misinterpret the results of developmental research on the child's understanding of the mind. | | | Philosophers so far have paid insufficient attention to the basic concepts of developmental psychology, despite the fact that developmental psychologists (especially those interested in cognitive or moral development) often draw upon the work of philosophers in formulating those concepts. | | | In my dissertation, I examined the use of the concepts of theory, representation, and belief in developmental psychology, and I provided explications of those concepts tailored to the interests of developmental psychology. |

| | How Developmental Psychologists Think About Family Process and Child Development in Low Income Families |
| | A third goal of developmental psychology is what is called the "individual difference approach." In addition to the dedication of the science to theories and measurement of universal aspects of development, developmental psychology is also devoted to explaining variation within groups of children. | | | To turn to the purpose of this paper, "How do Developmental Psychologists Think About Family Process and Child Development in Low Income Families?," one answer is that the hallmark of developmental psychology is comprised of theory and measurement to explain and document the development of all children from infancy to adulthood, i.e., universal principles. | | | In this paper, I will tackle each of these three aspects of developmental psychology in turn, apply them to what we know about the effects of poverty on children, and make suggestions regarding what we need to know about the effects of welfare reform. |
