Neuropsychology (Wiki)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychology
"Neuropsychology studies the structure and function of the brain as they relate to specific psychological processes and behaviours. It is an experimental field of psychology that aims to understand how behavior and cognition are influenced by brain functioning and is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of behavioral and cognitive effects of neurological disorders. Whereas classical neurology focuses on the physiology of the nervous system and classical psychology is largely divorced from it, neuropsychology seeks to discover how the brain correlates with the mind. It thus shares concepts and concerns with neuropsychiatry and with behavioral neurology in general. The term neuropsychology has been applied to lesion studies
in humans and animals. It has also been applied to efforts to record
electrical activity from individual cells (or groups of cells) in higher
primates (including some studies of human patients).[1] It is scientific in its approach, making use of neuroscience, and shares an information processing view of the mind with cognitive psychology and cognitive science.
In practice, neuropsychologists tend to work in research settings (universities, laboratories or research institutions), clinical settings (involved in assessing or treating patients with neuropsychological problems), forensic settings or industry (often as clinical-trial consultants where CNS function is a concern).
Neuropsychology (OD)

Evolutionary Psychology (Wiki)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_psychology
"Evolutionary psychology is a theoretical approach in the social and natural sciences that examines psychological structure from a modern evolutionary perspective. It seeks to identify which human psychological traits are evolved adaptations – that is, the functional products of natural selection or sexual selection in human evolution. Adaptationist thinking about physiological mechanisms, such as the heart, lungs, and immune system, is common in evolutionary biology. Some evolutionary psychologists apply the same thinking to psychology, arguing that the modularity of mind
is similar to that of the body and with different modular adaptations
serving different functions. Evolutionary psychologists argue that much
of human behavior is the output of psychological adaptations that evolved to solve recurrent problems in human ancestral environments.[1]
Evolutionary psychologists suggest that it is not simply a
subdiscipline of psychology but that evolutionary theory can provide a
foundational, metatheoretical framework that integrates the entire field of psychology in the same way evolution has for biology.[2][3][4]
Evolutionary psychologists hold that behaviors or traits that occur
universally in all cultures are good candidates for evolutionary
adaptations[5]
including the abilities to infer others' emotions, discern kin from
non-kin, identify and prefer healthier mates, and cooperate with others.
They report successful tests of theoretical predictions related to such
topics as infanticide, intelligence, marriage patterns, promiscuity, perception of beauty, bride price, and parental investment.[6]
The theories and findings of evolutionary psychology have
applications in many fields, including economics, environment, health,
law, management, psychiatry, politics, and literature.[7][8]
Criticism of evolutionary psychology
involves questions of testability, cognitive and evolutionary
assumptions (such as modular functioning of the brain, and large
uncertainty about the ancestral environment), importance of non-genetic
and non-adaptive explanations, as well as political and ethical issues
due to interpretations of research results.[9][10]

Developmental psychology (Wiki)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_psychology
"Developmental psychology is the scientific study of how and why human beings change over the course of their life. Originally concerned with infants and children, the field has expanded to include adolescence, adult development, aging, and the entire lifespan. This field examines change across three major dimensions: physical development, cognitive development, and socioemotional development.[citation needed] Within these three dimensions are a broad range of topics including motor skills, executive functions, moral understanding, language acquisition, social change, personality, emotional development, self-concept and identity formation.
Developmental psychology examines the influences of nature and
nurture on the process of human development, and processes of change in
context and across time. Many researchers are interested in the
interaction between personal characteristics, the individual's behavior
and environmental factors, including social context and the built environment. Ongoing debates include biological essentialism vs. neuroplasticity and stages of development vs. dynamic systems of development.
Developmental psychology involves a range of fields, such as, educational psychology, child psychopathology, forensic developmental psychology, child development, cognitive psychology, ecological psychology, and cultural psychology. Influential developmental psychologists from the 20th century include Urie Bronfenbrenner, Erik Erikson, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Barbara Rogoff, Esther Thelen, and Lev Vygotsky.

"Developmental Psychology
The best information I could find on this topic is incorporated into Chapter 10 (Development) in my online introductory textbook, Psychology: An Introduction, 2017 edition.
This page replaces the original on the "scholarly
resources on the web" link collection on Psych Web. Link collections
were useful in the mid-1990s when I created this section, but now there
are better ways to find scholarly information. Google Scholar is especially useful.
If you are a beginning student, do not be intimidated by
Google Scholar; it is easy to use. Default search results will be
"most-cited articles of all time" for that topic, and that will include
all the classic old-timers. (Don't forget to use quotation marks around
phrases, for better results.)
For more recent articles, restrict your results to the
last few years, using the Google Scholar options on the left of the
page. This will yield results entirely different from the default
search, because recent articles are not yet cited as often as the older
ones.
Often the link in Google Scholar will take you to an
abstract (a summary of an article) but the full article will be behind a
paywall. You might be able to find a free version of the whole article
by going back to a regular Google search (outside Google Scholar) and
using the modifier pdf: in front of your key words.
So, for example, a search inside regular Google for
[pdf:"eyewitness testimony"] without the square brackets will return pdf
documents relevant to the phrase "eyewitness testimony." Many will be
full articles. There is also a handy Chrome extension called Unpaywall
that will automatically locate full versions of articles that are behind
paywalls.
Happy searching and good luck.
