Maturation refers to the gradual progression of development over time. As I grew older my brain began to develop and the neurons began to mature. The result was an increase in the number of synapses made, 15,000 per neuron, although many that were unused were eliminated through synaptic pruning, a process which is a completely normal step in development. Through the increase in synapses, a complex network of neural pathways was developed, allowing for the sending of messages with the help of…

Maslow (1954) initially delineated five basic human needs that must be met in order for people to feel fulfilled in life. Graphically, Maslow presented these needs in the shape of pyramid. The pyramid shape suggested that the lower needs were more pervasive, and the highest needs were more tenuous and more easily overwhelmed by the influence of lower needs. These five basic needs to be innate is physiological, safety and security, love and belongingness, self-esteem and the last is self-…
