studying how and why human beings change over the course of their lives. Though it was
initially just concerned with infants and children, it is a field that today accommodates
adolescence, adult development, and aging.

A developmental psychologist is concerned with understanding and explaining how our
feelings, thought, and behaviors change as we live our lives. In other words, this field of
scientific study focuses on a human being’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional
development.
There are many facets involved in the three dimensions mentioned above, from moral
understanding and the acquisition of language to our self-concept and identity formation.
As the field expanded, developmental psychologists incorporated different processes and
nuances of cultures all over the world: how nature and nurture make us who we are based
on our contexts and milieus.
It is not a field that exists in a vacuum; developmental psychology complements and
involves a wide array of related fields, from child development and cultural psychology to
forensic and cognitive psychology. Some of the most renowned names in the history of
psychology are developmental psychologists. These include Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, and
Sigmund Freud.
