Lifespan development is a field of study that looks into patterns of growth, change, and stability that occur throughout an entire life. Some more vocabulary covered in this module is physical development, which includes the development of the body’s physical makeup, such as the brain, nervous system, muscles, and senses, and how food, drink, and sleep are essential for proper function. Cognitive development is characterized in lifespan development as development that involves the ways that growth and change impacts a person’s behavior.

Developmental psychology is a branch of psychology that deals with the factors that affect how a person grows and develops physically, mentally, and socially with age. The human body is constantly changing and adapting to new emotions and surroundings, but the foundations of how you respond to outside stimuli goes back to childhood and infancy. The aspect of nature and nurture also affect a person 's development and how they will respond in certain situations. The aspect of nature deals more with a person’s biological factors and nurture deals with how the person was raised, how they learned, and what they have gone through. Early childhood is when a person starts to develop an ability to think, morals, language, social patterns, and they start…
Introduction Lifespan development includes many stages of growth; one of these stages is middle adulthood. This time period is defined as the time period from the 30’s into the 50’s (Broderick, 2015). This period of time is complex and multifaceted, with job, socioeconomic issues, children, spouse and many other life personal issues. Relationships are also of concern, with divorce, cohabitation, marriage and remarriage adding to the complication of the time period (Broderick, 2015). War, disaster, world events and other environmental issues can also mark this time period (Broderick, 2015).…
As mentioned before the biological perspective on childhood development states that children’s cognitive abilities, motor functions, personality and physical traits will develop in accordance with a biological design (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 3). Cognitive development – the specialization of mental processes (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 504). Physical development - the continual transformation of what our body looks like (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 503). Motor functions - movement that employees muscle-groups (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg.…
The following essay will focus on the film Boyhood (2014) in attempts to explain how three significant events in the main character’s life story, Mason, exemplify developmental changes in the lifespan. There will be references to three developmental domains, cognitive development in terms of information processing, conceptual resources and perceptual skill, physical development referring to growth in the process of puberty and psychosocial development being the expansion of the personality, including the gain of social attitudes and skills particularly according to Erikson theory, the battle of identity vs role diffusion (Sigelman, 2013, p. 38). Boyhood is a story, based over a 12-year period, of growing up captured through the eyes of a…
Abstract There are many professional researches and studies that have been conducted to find out more insight in regards to why humans behave as they progress through life. Psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, contextual, and evolutionary perspective are the six major theoretical perspectives that have influenced lifespan development. Distinct theories and the developmental stages will be discussed throughout this paper from a personal point of view and provide insight on how various factors have contributed to the development process thus far in life. Spiritual development will be discussed from the earliest memory and will expand into early adulthood, which is the current state of development. Human growth and development varies from person to person and what works for one person will not necessarily be beneficial for another.…

It means the development in totality such as physical, social, cultural, mental and emotional development. The distinctive parts of development and improvement that are measured include physical development, psychological development and social development. The field of human improvement contains numerous HYPOTHESES and their diverse thoughts regarding how kids improve and change as per time ( Berk, 2007). There are various assumptions which make understanding that youngsters’ improvements are a test.…
Becoming an adult can be a difficult time for many teenagers. The perceived view that it is this hallmark event where adulthood is finally reached can come to a crashing halt when the reality of it sets in.

We meet a lot of people from different walks of life that are of various outlooks, personality traits, behaviors, thinking patterns and personality. These variations are explained through theories, arguments and discussions. Freud’s Psychosexual Theory focuses on the spectrum of nature, Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory focuses on the influence of nature and Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory emphasizes on the importance of both nature and nurture in the process of human development. Although different psychologist and philosophers have different views on how behavior, thinking, emotions and personality are formed, none of these theories are labelled as correct or incorrect. However, people are at the mercy of neither their genes nor their environment when they actively construct optimal experiences.…
People grow up in many different environments, some well-maintained while others are less fortunate. The environment in which a person is raised clearly sets the outlines as to how that individual grows up. Some other reasons that outlines a person are the person’s family, their home, their neighborhood, and community. I’ll be explaining all of these subjects and explaining how they shaped me as a person today.…
