Researchers in lifespan development recognize that development is multidimensional. List three areas of development that illustrate this concept. How do these areas relate to one another?
What will be an ideal response?
Development is multidimensional and entails changes in many areas of development. For example, physical development refers to body maturation and growth, including body size, proportion, appearance, health, and perceptual abilities. Cognitive development refers to the maturation of thought processes and the tools that we use to obtain knowledge, become aware of the world around us, and solve problems. Psychosocial developmentincludes changes in personality, emotions, views of oneself, social skills, and interpersonal relationships with family and friends. Each of these areas of development overlap and interact with one another.
