Document Summary
Research and theorists interested in studying age-related changes in behaviours and mental processes across the life span in three major domains physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. They seeks to address 3 issues related to our development: is our growth a discontinuous or continuous process? when we grow do we continue growing and getting bigger bigger bigger continuously. Before: though children are smaller adults labor. When we study human development, we take on an interactionist approach. An interactionist approach believing that development incorporates all of these ideas. Attempt to answer the questions with these types of research. Study individuals in different age groups at the same point in times. Get a bunch of different infants and measure all of them at the same time. Look at a group of 6-year olds, the 10-year-old . Look at the differences from one group to the next. Example: more difference in mathematical skill from 4-year-old to 6-year-old than from.
