Study Notes
Developmental Patterns and Dimensions
- The cephalocaudal pattern of development explains the sequence of physical development from head to toe.
- Factors such as genetics, nutrition, and socioeconomic status can cause the rate of development to vary.
Lifespan Development
- The lifespan approach shows extensive change from birth to late old age.
- The concept of plasticity in lifespan development refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself in response to new experiences.
Dimensions of Development
- The psychosocial dimension consists of changes in an individual's relationships with others and changes in emotion and personality.
Types of Development
- Bodily development involves bodily changes, including growth, gross and fine motor skills, and biological maturity.
Focus of Human Development
- The main focus of human development is the study of human growth, change, and development across the lifespan.
- Development implies a dynamic and ongoing process of growth and change.
Growth vs. Development
- Growth refers to an increase in size or quantity, whereas development refers to a qualitative change or improvement in function or structure.
Early Foundations
- Early foundations in human development establish the basis for future development and have a lasting impact on an individual's life.
Maturation and Learning
- Maturation and learning are interdependent, as maturation sets the stage for learning, and learning, in turn, influences maturation.
Self-Realization
- Self-realization, or the process of becoming aware of one's strengths, weaknesses, and goals, contributes to human development by promoting personal growth and self-awareness.
