DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
Keywords:
Stages, ChildhoodAbstract
Developmental psychology is a scientific subject devoted to deciphering the complexity of human growth, transformation, and stability throughout a lifetime. It dives into the subtle evolution of a person's cognitive processes, emotional moods, and behavioral habits over time. Developmental psychology seeks to shed light on the variables that determine our development and the extraordinary journey of human maturity by investigating these characteristics. This field of research explores the interaction of many elements such as genetics, environment, culture, and individual experiences to understand how they impact the development of thinking, mood, and behavior. It acknowledges that as people grow from childhood to maturity and then into old age, they endure major changes and gain new talents and qualities.
