Developmental Researchers investigate the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of children from infancy through adolescence. They may study children in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, and community centers. Developmental Researchers use a variety of research methods, including observation, interviews, and experiments, to collect data on children's development. They then analyze the data to identify patterns and trends in development and to test hypotheses about the factors that influence development.
