development takes place in a process of certain stages in which helps us understand human development. However there are many concerns related to lifespan development. Two examples are nature versus nurture and continuity versus discontinuity. The study of lifespan development developed and grew from Darwin’s development and understanding of evolution. Lifespan is defined by G. Stanley Hall as “the period of time from conception extending to death” (Boyd & Bee‚ 2006). This process begins with the development

- and middle - social classes‚ were formulated by Erikson. These eight stages were each individually viewed as a "psychosocial crisis‚" requiring the resolution of one stage before the next stage can begin to be analyzed. The creation of these developmental stage processes are said to be similar to how an architectural project is conceived. For instance‚ it is necessary that each stage crisis be learned and comprehended. They must first come to some type of resolution in order for the child to be

There are different forms of developmental theory but in this paper we only compare and contrast three of them. They include psychodynamic‚ psychosocial and behaviorism theory. Although these theories are based on different principles‚ the underlying commonalities across the theories are that they can be classified on a basis of either organicism or mechanism philosophical models. For psychodynamic theory‚ unconscious urges control human behavior and it also argues that there are three components

Erikson’s first psychosocial conflict is trust versus mistrust. This stage begins at birth and continues until about one year of age. The central issue that infant’s resolve in this stage is "Can I trust others?". Erikson believed infants learn to trust other people if their needs are satisfied by their
