lifespan developmental psychology - ANSWER Study of the patterns of growth and change that occur
throughout life
Why is it important to study human development across the lifespan? - ANSWER It is important to study
and understand human development across the lifespan because it helps us understand what others are
going through and what we go through at various stages in life. This is important for those who work in
healthcare because it involves one's emotional, physical, and cognitive states that are constantly
changing. It allows us to identify potential issues and work with the patient to create a treatment plan
that can lead to a positive outcome.
What does it mean that development is multidirectional? - ANSWER Development is multidirectional
because we grow and change in many ways that involve loss and gains in the process. These changes can
be good, bad, or both.

- ANSWER Lifespan development is multidisciplinary because it uses theories from other areas of science
that include, biology, psychology, and sociology to help us understand a person as a whole.
