DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT AND MATURATIO

DEVELOPMENT – IS A SEQUENCE OF CONTINUOUS CHANGE IN A SYSTEM, EXTEND

A CONSIDERABLE TIME; SPECIFICALLY, SUCH CHANGE OR RELATED AND ENDURIN

PARTICULAR CHANGES, AS FOLLOWS ONE ANOTHER IN AN ORGANISM FROM ITS

MATURITY AND DEATH.

MATURATION – REFERS TO THE PROCESS OF CHANGE OF AN INDIVIDUAL WHICH

PRIMARILY AS A FUNCTION OF AGING OR TIME. IT EXCLUDES THE EFFECTS OF PR

AND EXPERIENCE. FOR INSTANCE, YOUNG BIRDS LEARN TO FLY WHEN THEIR WINFULLY MATURED IRRESPECTIVE OF EXERCISE OR PRACTICE.



GENERALIZATION ABOUT DEVELOPM1. VARIABILITY – DEVELOPMENT IS AN ORDERLY PROCESS. ITS RATE IS NOT CONSTANT BUT IS

IN AND BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS. THE RATE OF MATURATION OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES PROCE

―FITS AND STARTS‖ RATHER THAN IN A CONTINUOUS, SMOOTH FASHION.

2. INDEPENDENCE – DIFFERENT PARTS AND SYSTEMS OF THE BODY DEVELOP IN LARGELY INDEPE

PATTERNS AND SEQUENCE.

3. DIFFERENTIATION – DIFFERENTIATION INCREASES WITH DEVELOPMENT. AS THE FETUS GROW

UTERUS, DEVELOPMENT OCCURS ALONG THE LINE FROM ITS HEAD TO ITS TAIL CALLED CEPHA

AXIS (HEAD-TAIL AXIS). HUMAN DEVELOPMENT ALSO OCCURS ALONG A PRIXOMO — DISTAL A

DEVELOPMENT OF PARTS NEAR THE CENTER OF THE FETUS BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT OF BOD

DISTANT FROM THE CENTER.

4. INTEGRATION – INCREASES WITH DEVELOPMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, IN ANY MOTOR ACT LIKE SIT

DRIVING CARS, PRESSING A BUTTON, ETC. A COMPLEX SERIES OF MUSCLE MOVEMENTS ARE WHICH ARE USUALLY PERFECTED AWKWARDLY AT FIRST BUT ARE SOON COORDINATED AS TH

ARE REPEATED.

5. PREDICTABILITY – SEQUENCES IN MATURATION ARE MORE PREDICTABLE THAN RATES OF MAT

WHILE MOST INFANTS FOLLOW A CERTAIN PATTERN OF MOTOR DEVELOPMENT

6. LIMITATION – MATURATION SETS THE LIMITS ON LEARNING. AN INFANT CANNOT LEARN TO C

MOVEMENTS INVOLVED IN DIRECTING A SPOON TOWARD AND INTO THE MOUTH UNTIL HIS SK

AND HIS NERVOUS AND MUSCULAR SYSTEM ARE SUFFICIENTLY MATURED TO PERMIT SUCH L



CONDITIONS OF GROWTH AND DEVELOP

1. PHYSICAL CHANGE – INVOLVES A CHANGE IN SIZE AND PROPORTION IN RELATION TO HEIG AND TO THE DIFFERENT PARTS AND ORGANS OF THE BODY.

2. FUNCTIONAL CHANGE – INVOLVES SLOWING DOWN OF MENTAL PROCESSES LIKE THE ABILI

PERCEIVE THINGS, THE ABILITY TO REASON, THE INCREASE IN VOCABULARY, ABILITY, ETC.

3. HEREDITY- THE GENE STRUCTURE CONTROLS AND LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF VARIATION IN T

STRUCTURE OF THE BODY.
