Special Issue on Developmental Psychology

Developmental psychology is the study of how and why human beings change over the course of their life, which may include the clinical, cognitive, perceptual, sensory, social, moral, practical, educational, biological, genetic and neural aspects of human development. By studying these developmental changes, psychologists can have a better understanding of how people change and grow during different stages of their lives.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Developmental Psychology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Cognitive development
• Psychosocial development
• Physical development
• Memory development
• Parenting styles
• Infancy
• Childhood
• Adolescence
• Adulthood
• Nature vs nurture
• Continuity vs discontinuity
• Stability vs change  

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Developmental Psychology” should be selected during your submission.
