Development is the study of changes and stability across multiple domains of human functioning: physical and neurophysiological processes, cognition, language, personality, and morality. Often called lifespan development or human development, it also studies how people develop and interact with others throughout life.
There are many different theories about what causes or predicts developmental change. One of the most prevalent is the life-span perspective. This theory, which fought its way through the dominant perspectives in child psychology (e.g., that development ends at age 18) in the 1980s, is one of the main meta-theories guiding development science today.
Lifespan theorists assume that all development occurs in social contexts and that people play active roles in their own development. They also assume that development is multifactorial, influenced by biological and environmental factors. This perspective differs from other developmental theories, such as Erikson’s model of development, which focuses on specific crises that occur during adolescence and adulthood.
Developing a project requires a team of professionals, including architects, city planners, engineers, surveyors, inspectors, builders, lawyers, and leasing agents. A developer also needs to know how to collaborate with other businesses and experts in their field. This knowledge helps them build relationships with other developers, create new projects, and save time. Ultimately, these skills can help you advance in your career and provide valuable insights to your clients.
