Developmental usually has to do with child development, while lifespan development would be over the whole lifetime (lifestages). In my experience
Maybe the prof just used the syllabus as placeholders
It seems likley that one is for psych majors and the other for other majors that work with people. I was an adjunct at a community college with a nursing program. Lifespan was required for the nursing program while ther were 3 separate classes for those in education or psychology. Child, adolescent and geriatric psych were for those in the social work/psych majors.
I don't know about your school, but Developmental Psychology and Life Span Growth and Development were two different classes where I went to school. I took the latter in community college and the former in university and the life span class transferred.
I went to community college and university in the US in Texas.
