Author Description

This real-life videotape is over two hours in length and contains hundreds of observation segments that illustrate the many theories, concepts, and milestones of human development. Examples include attachment, understanding of false belief, emerging adulthood, retirement and volunteering, centenarians, elder caregiving, and bereavement and meaning-making after losing a child. An Observation Guide helps students use the video in conjunction with the textbook, deepening their understanding and applying what they have learned to everyday life.
