PSY 334
Cognitive Development
Tamar Kushnir
Description from DukeHub
Ever wonder how you came to learn and think? This course looks at the start of these cool human abilities, covering how children learn to perceive, act, talk, understand, and reason with and about the people, concepts, and categories around them. Students will actively engage in mostly primary source readings, scaffolded by lively lecture. Students will leave with the theories, methods, and key findings of cognitive development in their back pocket, ready to interpret primary and media coverage of cognitive development. Prerequisite: At least one Psychology course, including those cross-listed with Psychology.
Skills
No skill passed the confidence bar. Weak matches go to review instead of this page: an AI pass that has to quote the description, then a person.
AI-resilient: 0 of 5
- No: Physical, lab or field work
- No: Live work with people
- No: Judgment someone is accountable for
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
