Deciphering Lifelong Development: Biological, Cognitive, and Socioemotional Processes

In this section’s presentation, one of the topics that I felt intrigued by would be the area of study in development. There are three different parts that ultimately play a role in development, which would be the biological processes, cognitive processes, and socioemotional processes. In biological processes, it changes the physical nature, whereas cognitive processes changes mental processes such as thought or language, and lastly, socioemotional processes focuses on emotions and relationships. Within these three combinations, there are eight different periods of development that impacts the individual. These development stages are lifelong that affects the different areas of our life until the day we die. These three main parts that played

By the end of this course, we should be able to use what we learn today and incorporate it into our daily lifestyle. It is very crucial to be able to meet the deadlines and submit assignments that have been thought out. For the second half of the presentation, it basically summed up on how every individual’s growth can share a lot of similarity among others. Many of the changes reflect on age, history, culture, or life-events throughout different age periods. Although everyone can respond differently, it can impact the direction of the individual’s growth and how he or she reacts to the influence. Psychologists are able to study these individual developments by case studies (starting point), observational studies (observed by daily activities), tests (from different environments), surveys and interviews (asking different groups of people) and lastly, psychological measures (emotions, thoughts, or anything going on internally). Development is life long and will continue to occur until we

The four main sections in this chapter includes the life-span perspective (sums up how development can be affected by age, history, and life events), the nature of development (the key, distinctive periods where biological, cognitive, and socio emotional processes influence different, specific age periods along with how nature vs. nurture will also create the impact), theories of development (psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral and social cognitive, ethological, ecological, and electric theoretical orientation), and lastly, how research is made for life-span development (how data collection works, research criteria’s, time spent on research, and how to conduct research without bias
