    Beschreibung

    This Master's-level course explores how prenatal experiences shape developmental trajectories across the lifespan. Integrating theory, empirical findings, and current innovations, students will examine the psychological, social and biological pathways linking maternal-fetal interactions to emotional, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. Through interactive formats and case-based learning, the course bridges foundational knowledge with emerging research and applications in developmental psychology.

    Graded group project (70%) complemented by an individual written reflection (30%) to assess personal engagement and synthesis of key course content.
    Lernziele

    By the end of this course, students will be able to:

    - Describe key psychosocial and biological interactions and mechanisms of prenatal development.

    - Analyze the influence of maternal states (e.g., stress, sleep, mental health) on fetal, infant, child and lifespan outcomes.

    - Critically evaluate research methods in prenatal studies.

    - Connect prenatal processes to later developmental domains (e.g., cognition, emotion, behavior).

    - Discuss prevention strategies and the potential of digital health innovations.

    - Apply theoretical and empirical insights to case scenarios and intervention concepts.
