Only in early infancy do minds, bodies, and abilities change as rapidly as they do between puberty and the end of college. This class surveys the concepts, methods, and research findings central to the study of adolescent development. Major areas of study include: fundamental changes in biological and cognitive processes, contextual changes in family, peers, school, work, and leisure and psychosocial issues such as identity, sexuality, achievement and problem behavior.
