What is the point?
Life span development in psychology is the study of human growth and change across the entire course of life. This field examines the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development that individuals undergo from conception to death. Students exploring life span development investigate various developmental stages, including infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Theories such as Erikson's psychosocial stages and Piaget's stages of cognitive development are often explored to understand the factors that shape individuals at different points in their lives. The field also addresses the impact of genetics, environment, and cultural influences on development. Through this comprehensive study, students gain a holistic understanding of the continuous and dynamic processes that contribute to the formation of identity, personality, and social relationships over the entire life span.
