The Psychological Development Of A Person Who Is Advanced

Beginning education, puberty and marriage are three examples of normative age- graded influences in my life. Beginning school helped me to develop myself in the outside world while learning to socialize with my peers. Puberty made form an idea of what I wanted to be in life even though back then I was uncertain of the changes being reflected in myself such as body, thoughts and behaviors. However, I opted new behaviors and started thinking differently. Similarly, marriage made me jump to a second stage in my life as I learned how to be an adult. Between beginning school and puberty, marriage is a significant influence in my life as it made me gain a deeper level of matureness than what I did on puberty. It also helped me to build new perspectives about my future.

The two main ideas of “The Secret to Raising Smart Kids” are that fixed minded people are less likely to accept a challenge than growth minded people and that parents can do their part to help their child have a successful life by implanting a growth mind-set in their child’s brain. If more parents raised their children as growth minded individuals, this world would improve significantly.

Late Adulthood is a time in people’s lives when they come to terms with their lives and reevaluate what they have done or accomplished in the lieu of what they still would like to accomplish for the remainder of their lives. During this stage of life adults around the ages of 65 begin to experience a variety of changes in their physical appearance and a decline in their health. The process of aging in an individual occurs at different speeds and during this stage older adults are being treated as second-class citizens especially by younger adults. The skin begins to wrinkle at an

This paper serves to apply the knowledge learned throughout the course, COUN 502, to the development and growth in my lifespan. I will aim to demonstrate a working knowledge of the theories, terminology, and concepts of human growth and development. I will show how these disciplines apply to my own life experiences and how I did throughout my key life events, through the use of empirical studies.

In today's world, there is a large amount of emphasis on physical beauty, youth, and how to stay younger for longer. Although many have condemned this as a particularly shallow approach to life, there is also an underlying concern for physical health, which is at the bottom of longevity and a concomitant better-looking physique. Indeed, the longer a person can maintain a healthy lifestyle and a focus on self-care, the longer he or she tends to maintain a relatively youthful or at least healthy demeanor. This has also become a growing concern as life expectancy has increased almost exponentially for human beings over the last century. For this reason, companies such as Dr. Perricone MD Skincare continue to do extensive research to determine ways in which the longevity and youth of the skin can be prolonged and even restored.

Also, three primary structural components of the dermis, collagen, elastin and GAGs have been the subjects of the majority of anti-aging research and efforts for aesthetic-anti-aging strategies pertaining to the skin, from “anti-wrinkle creams” to various filling agents.

The majority of lifespan development theories analyze growth and development from two major possibilities, that is, development as a continuous process and development as a discontinuous process (Berk, 2007). Continuous development is defined as the process where an individual builds on the same skills exhibiting at an early age while the discontinuous development is the process that allows individuals to exhibit new and different ways of understanding and responding to different situations and occurrences (Berk, 2007; Koren, 2011). The lifespan development theories that explain growth and development as a process of stages follow a discontinuous development perspective (Berk, 2007).

The study of lifespan development is extremely crucial in most fields, and especially so within the field of psychology. It is important to remember that the brain and the body do not read the books, they make the books. In other words, researchers and scientists have to study and explore various aspects of life and the human body before we are able to make sense of it all.

By observing the similarities of the different subjects, one can conclude that the skin cells of unlike organisms are actually quite similar. The only things that really change the look and function of the cells are tissue damage and aging. Because of this, skin structure is a useful tool in relating different organisms.

Arguably, the physical and cognitive development of young adults is an issue that has always attracted the attention of many scholars including Schaie and Erikson among others. Schaie is one of the most prominent scholars who have done exhaustive research on individuals’ development. He conducted many studies on areas of intellectual functioning in adults, and from his research, he proposed his theory of stages in cognitive development in human adults. Schaie outlined these stages as the acquisition stage, young adult stage, achieving stage, responsible stage, executive stage, reorganizational stage, reintegrative stage, and legacy creating stage (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2016). The achieving stage is just one of the many stages proposed by Schaie in his

• Before evaluating the defendant, there are a few things I would be interested in learning from the lawyer. According to Rosenberg and McGarry, attorney ignorance is common and attorney's showed a lack of understanding about the legal standards for incompetency and the difference between a mental disorder and insanity. Therefore, it is important that I speak with the attorney about why the issue of competence was raised. Since the attorney expressed that the defense had difficulty communicating about the alleged offense, I would first need to approach the psycho-legal issue of competency. As an examiner, I would need to know if the defendant has difficulty currently understanding and participating their defense throughout trial (competency) or if the defendant has difficulty being able to control and understand their own actions at the time the crime

The life-span perspective is a modern scientific approach to the study of human development that accounts for all phases of life including childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and it breaks each phase into individual stages of development (Berger,2014). This perspective suggests that development is multidirectional, metacontextual, and all stages of development are important and play a crucial role in the individuals cognitive health (Berger,2014). The stages of development are categorized as infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood, adulthood, and late adulthood. For the purpose of this paper I will be focusing on the infancy stage due to the importance of cognitive development before the age of two, middle childhood due to a child’s social structure becoming a defining factor in their lives, and emerging adulthood due to the stresses that an individual must endure while maturing into a young adult.

Human growth and development is an incredibly complex process, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. At certain times and for certain developments, genetic influences dominate, whereas at other times, environmental influences are more powerful which emphasizes the fact that genetic and environmental forces are always working together (Sigelman and Rider, 2009).

The human body changes every day as it gets older. These changes form part of the growth pattern from childhood to adulthood. The changes show limits as parts stop growing or decrease in size. Height stops or reduces in measurement. The Human’s body hair disappears or changes color overtime. After a while the skin sags and wrinkles with exposure to sunlight and chemicals. People’s teeth decay and change color with poor dental hygiene or tooth-damaging diets. People’s physical features undergo many natural changes that bears little resemblance to earlier stature. Everyone wants to live a happy healthy life but ignorance of body changes interfere with happiness.
