Description: Developmental psychology seeks both t understand the nature of the child's mind at the successive stages of its development and to provide an account of the process of development. We might call these aims, respectively, synchronic and diachronic analysis. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget founded the discipline in its present form, and his ideas, methods, and findings have shaped work in the field for more than half a century.
