Originally concerned with infants and children, the field has expanded to include adolescence, adult development, aging, and the entire lifespan.

This field examines change across three major dimensions: physical development, cognitive development, and socioemotional development. Within these three dimensions are a broad range of topics including motor skills, executive functions, moral understanding, language acquisition, social change, personality, emotional development, self-concept, and identity formation.
