Developmental theories of child development are categorized as either stage theory or non-stage (continuous) theory. Both attempt to explain how each child is molded into the adult each will inevitably become. Stage theories propose that children make sudden shifts to different levels of behavior and perception. This way of thinking provides researchers with a set of guidelines as to how far children should be along in their development at different ages. It invokes a sense of “normality” and reassures people that their children are “on track.” It also serves as a way to identify if a child is behind where they should be in their development. Non-stage theorists propose that children’s’ development occurs more gradually. This idea of development…

A discipline of scientific inquiry, developmental psychology recognizes humans of all societies and cultures as beings who are “in process,” or constantly growing and changing. This discipline identifies the biological, psychological, and social aspects that interact to influence the growing human life-span process. Beginning with Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) and Jean Piaget (1896–1980), the early focus of developmental psychology was on child development, or the maturation of children. Within the last 25 years, developmentalists—researchers who study human development—expanded their focus to include the study of the physical, motor, cognitive, intellectual, emotional, personality, social, and moral changes that occur throughout all stages of the life span. In it’s special areas of interest language development, emotions, perceptions and thinking are included.…
