Study Notes
Human Growth and Development
- Human growth and development start at conception and continue until death.
- The scientific community divides human growth into stages based on age and uses these stages to assess growth and development.
- Human growth stages are differentiated by age and the final skills developed in each stage.
- Most human growth and development occurs in infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
- Growth rates are specific to different parts of the body.
- There are wide individual differences in growth rates.
- Growth and development are influenced by maturation, learning, and other factors.
- Any stimulus or insult during fetal development can cause permanent developmental adaptations that affect the individual later in life.
- Inadequate emotional support and developmental stimulus, including language training, can lead to deterioration in growth and development.
- The human-made environment significantly influences human growth and development.
- Infants establish basic trust in the world.
- The first month of infancy is a balance period due to the adaptation to extra-uterine changes.
