Overview

Life Span Human Development is about the development of human beings – from conception to death. It highlights similarities as well as differences in developmental stages, and it asks fundamental questions about why we humans develop as we do. Taking a unique integrated topical and chronological approach, each chapter focuses on a topic or domain of development – such as physical growth, cognition, or personality – and traces developmental trends and influences in that domain from infancy to old age.
