According to page 6 in the “Introduction to the life span perspective” textbook, the biological system is the process needed for physical function of the organism as well as for mental activity. These processes “develop and change as a consequence of genetically guided maturation…” (The Development Through Life Perspective, ch.1 page 6). For example, a human lifestyle which includes eating, sleeping, exercise and/or drugs all comes from the biological system.…

    Devyn Vermette PSYC 220 05 Journal Entry 1 The main point of this week’s textbook reading was to look at development through the different lenses of psychology( i.e the different theories). Taking the collective information from each of these theories, the key question is whether or not development is continuous or discontinuous? The most important information the author uses to answer this question is the fact that when you look at a lifespan, development is lifelong.
