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.
