| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Development | The pattern of movement or change that begins at conception and continues through the human life span. Involves growth and decline brought by aging. |
| Human Development | The multidisciplinary study of how people change and how they remain the same over time. |
| Recurring Issues in Human Development | Nature and Nurture, Continuity and Discontinuity, Universal ang Context-Specific Development |
| Nature | Refers to an organisms biological inheritance |
| Nurture | It's environmental Experiences |
| The degree to which genetic or heredity influences (nature) and experiential or environmental influences (nurture) determine the kind of person you are. | Nature and Nurture |
| Whether there is one path of development or several paths | Universal and Context-Specific Development |
| Basic Forces in Human Development: The Biopsychosocial Framework | Biological Forces, Psychological Forces, Sociocultural Forces and Life-cycle Forces, Biopsychosocial Framework |
| Includes all genetic and health related factors | Biological Forces |
| Include all internal perpetual, cognitive emotional, and personality factors | Psychological Forces |
| Includes interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethic factors | Sociocultural Forces |
| Reflect differences in how the same event affect people of different ages | Life-cycle Forces |

| Neuroscience: A Window into Human Development | The study of the brain and nervous system, especially in terms of brain behavior relationships. |
| The field of study that examines patterns of growth, change and stability in behavior that occur throughout the entire lifespan. | Life Span Development |
| Involves growth, maintenance and regulation. Constructed through biological, sociocultural, and individual factors working together. | Life Span Perspective |
| The perspective that development is lifelong, multidimensional, plastic, multidisciplinary, multidirectional, contextual, | Life Span Perspective |
| The length of time for which a person or animal lives or a thing function | Life Span |
| The way people see life the way they approach the life, personal experience | Perspective |
| Characteristics of Life Span Development (Paul Baltes) | Development is Lifelong, Multidimensional, Multidirectional, Multidisciplinary, Plastic, Contextual, Co-construction of Biology, Culture and the individual, Involves growth, maintenance and regulation of loss |

| Relating to determining norms of standards` | Normative |
| Mastery of life often involves conflicts and competition among the three goals of human development | Development Involves Growth Maintenance, and Regulation of Loss |

| Characterizes individuals who show greater than average decline as they age through the adult age/ years. Some like Cognitive Impairments. Alzheimer's Disease, Chronic Disease | Pathological Aging |
| Positive physical, cognitive and socioemotional development is maintained longer | Successful Aging |
| Conception of Age | Chronological, Biological, Psychological and Social Age |
