HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
STAGES
Prenatal Development
- Conception occurs and development begins.
- The influences of nature and nurture are evident
Infancy and Toddlerhood
- The first year and a half to two years of life are ones of dramatic growth and change
- Brain development happens at a remarkable rate, as does physical growth and language development.
Early Childhood
- Preschool years, roughly 2 to 5/6 years
- Initially have interesting conceptions of size, time, space and distance
Middle Childhood
- Early grades (6-11)
- The brain reaches its adult size around age seven, but it continues to develop.
- Growth rates slow down and children are able to refine their motor skills at this point in life.
- Begin to learn about social relationships beyond the family through interaction with friends and fellow students
Adolescence
- Puberty
- Think of new possibilities, consider abstract concepts such as love, fear, and freedom
- Establishing one’s own identity, struggle to become more independent from their parents.
- Peers become more important, as teens strive for a sense of belonging and acceptance; mixed-sex peer groups become more common
- Dating, driving, taking on a part-time job, and planning for future academics.
Early Adulthood
- Late teens, twenties, and thirties
- Love and work are the primary concerns at this stage of life.
- Cohort, culture, time in history, the economy, and socioeconomic status may be key factors in when youth take on adult roles.
Middle Adulthood
- The late thirties (or age 40) through the mid-60s
- Physiological aging more noticeable and a period at which many people are at their peak of productivity in love and work.
- It can also be a time of becoming more realistic about possibilities in life; of recognizing the difference between what is possible and what is likely.
Late Adulthood
- Young old (65-74 years old) - similar to middle-aged adults; possibly still working, married, relatively healthy, and active
- Old old (75-84 years old) - have some health problems and challenges with daily living activities
- Oldest old (85+ years old) - often frail and in need of long term care
DEFINITION - refers to the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development of humans throughout the lifespan.
PHYSICAL
Brain maturation
As myelination and pruning increase during this stage of development, neural processes become quicker and more complex.
-
Visual Pathways
the development of visual pathways reflected in the way drawings of young children change as pathways become more mature.
Motor Skill Development
Gross Motor
gross motor skills are voluntary movements involving the use of large muscle groups. e.g. moving, jumping, running, swinging and clapping
