Megan Critchlow - Psychology
To expand my knowledge I have used a range of approaches including essays, journals,
books, emails, websites and search engines.
The area of psychology I will be exploring is developmental psychology. Developmental
psychology is a branch of psychology that explores the progressive behavioural changes of an
individual throughout their life. I will be focusing on the progression of an autistic child’s
theory of mind.
Finally I have decided to focus my essay on the psychological factors devising a Theory of
Mind, as apposed to any biological basis. Although it should be acknowledged that there are
thought to be additional biological factors.
