Human Development
Meaning of Development
Development refers to the series of orderly and predictable 
changes that start at conception and continue throughout a 
person's life.
This includes both growth and decline, particularly noticeable 
in older age.
It covers physical changes, mental growth, and shifts in social 
relationships.
Changes in development occur holistically, affecting various 
aspects of a person's life in an integrated manner.

Processes Influencing Development
Biological Processes
Influenced by inherited genes, affecting physical attributes like height, weight, and the development of organs such as 
the brain, heart, and lungs.
Cognitive Processes
Involve mental activities such as thinking, perception, attention, and problem-solving.
Socio-emotional Processes
Pertain to changes in an individual's interactions, emotions, and personality development. For example, a child's hug to

Life-Span Perspective on Development
Development Across the Life-Span
Development spans from conception to old age, involving dynamic interactions of gains and 
losses.
Interconnected Processes
Biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional processes intertwine throughout development.
Multi-Directional Development
Different dimensions grow or decline at varying rates4wisdom may increase with age while 
physical speed diminishes.
Plasticity in Development
Development remains modifiable throughout life, with skills and abilities enhanceable at any age.

Influence of Historical Conditions
Historical contexts shape development, creating distinct generational experiences that impact life 
trajectories.
Interdisciplinary Study
Human development draws from psychology, anthropology, sociology, and neurosciences, providing 
multiple perspectives on life-span development.
Individual Responses to Contexts
People actively respond to genetic traits, physical environments, social settings, and cultural influences, 
with life events shaping personal development.
