Normal developmental process of human body is characterized by physical, psychological, mental, cognitive and behavioral changes. The development processes not only requires specific nutritional interventions but are also characterized by very specific growth changes (Berk, & Churchill, 1996). Jean Piaget, biologist and psychologist developed different stages of intellectual, cognitive and behavioral development from infant to adult age. This development stages are established on the basis of behavioral, cognitive and intelligence changes that are observed during these ages. These stages are named as Piaget Stages of Development which mainly comprise of four main stages namely Sensorimotor, preoperational, Concrete and formal operational…
There are many mitigating factors regarding the rate of development that can prevent a child from reaching their expected milestones. Examples of these include their background such as family life and home environment. It is important for all childcare providers to be aware of such circumstances and to consider how this may affect the child’s development and how to encourage their progress whilst knowing their limits. It is important to first discuss the possibility of health factors that may affect a child. For example, basic poor physical health, physical disability or impairment may restrict the child from development opportunities meaning that they are less able to participate.…
It is also important to include children with additional needs in different activities that will help stimulate and build their confidence. EYE 313WB 1.3 Analyse the impact of environmental factors on children’s development As we know that biological factors have the influence to impact children’s development, the environment also plays its role in the children’s development. This includes children’s learning and development such as social aspects.…
RAP III The essays, “How Humans Are Shaping Our Own Evolution” by D. Max and “The Next Disaster” by Terry Jones, impose important, thought-provoking questions. The ways in which Max and Jones choose to answer their proposed questions lie within their research and prior knowledge. The information presented to the reader stands as evidence that supports the answers to their questions.…
1.Outline the difference between sequence and rate of development. Why might children develop at different rates in different areas? Children’s development should be looked at in a holistic way this is very important. A holistic approach considers the whole part of something rather than a small fraction of it.…
1. Introduction: The development of a child is referred to by the changes that a child undergoes during growth. These changes develop in relation to physical and mental health as well as emotional and social competence. Research confirms that the first three years of a child’s life are critical in shaping the architecture of the brain.…
1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years of age Introduction: Children’s do not develop at the same rate as each another .Every child has different rate of Development Areas of development: These are the main areas of development 1. Physical development 2.…
Not all inherited characteristics appear at birth but it continues to control a child's growth through the process of maturation- n unfolding of genetically directed change Children are also genetically endowed with particular ways of responding to their physical and social environment, and such temperaments influence their tendencies to be calm or irritable, outgoing or shy Not every acquired trademark show up during childbirth but rather it keeps on controlling a youngster's development through the procedure of development n unfurling of hereditarily coordinated change Kids are additionally hereditarily invested with specific methods for reacting to their physical and social environment, and such demeanors impact their inclinations to be…
Biological- Biological refers to the range of ways that nature affects children’s development. Factors that are present at birth or present later are termed biological. It incorporates senses, for example, the human reflex to inhale-exhale and in addition genetic factors, for example, how tall kids develop or what colour hair and eyes they have. Growth and development are controlled by the genes. Faulty genes can affect the development of the child, causing abnormal growth.…
1.1 Describe stages of development from conception to birth. When an egg is fertilised it is a single cell called a Zygote, in the next 24-36 hours the single cell will divide into two cells, 12 hours after it will divide into four cells, and will carry on dividing which forms a cluster of cells which are called a monula. Three – four days after it has been fertilised the monula will move from the fallopian tube and will enter the uterus. At about six days the monula will form a hollow cavity which is known as a blastocyst. The blastocyst will burrow itself into the uterus lining this is called implantation.…
Introduction The argument of nature vs. nurture has been one of the oldest and one of the largest controversies on whether our influences come from our genes (nature) or environmental factors (nurture), and how it could affect our behavioral, appearances, development, and our personality. These two play a big role in the human development. This argument will always exist on what is said about the human development. Scientists have not been able to sort this argument out and decide which one rules out the other.…
As mentioned before the biological perspective on childhood development states that children’s cognitive abilities, motor functions, personality and physical traits will develop in accordance with a biological design (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 3). Cognitive development – the specialization of mental processes (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 504). Physical development - the continual transformation of what our body looks like (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 503). Motor functions - movement that employees muscle-groups (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg.…
Abstract There are many professional researches and studies that have been conducted to find out more insight in regards to why humans behave as they progress through life. Psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, contextual, and evolutionary perspective are the six major theoretical perspectives that have influenced lifespan development. Distinct theories and the developmental stages will be discussed throughout this paper from a personal point of view and provide insight on how various factors have contributed to the development process thus far in life. Spiritual development will be discussed from the earliest memory and will expand into early adulthood, which is the current state of development. Human growth and development varies from person to person and what works for one person will not necessarily be beneficial for another.…
The nucleus within a human cell contains 23 pairs of Chromosomes, where the genes on them control the development of characteristics that the organism will inherit. Within the Nucleus, there is a large structure called a Nucleolus which mainly makes Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) and Ribosomes. When these Ribosomes are made, they are sent outside of the nucleus to make proteins. If the Nucleolus can’t produce Ribosomes, the cell won’t form together or produce proteins. The RNA is necessary in making proteins; it’s used to arrange Amino Acids into “special proteins” so that they can be used within the cell.…
In my understanding, Human development is a lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. This process starts in the early stages of life from babyhood to childhood, childhood to adolescence to adulthood, where enormous changes take place. Through this process each person develops different attitudes and values that guides choices, relationships, and understanding. Another important developmental stage is sexuality, this is a lifelong process. Infants, children, teens, and adults are sexual being.…
