Question 1 pts
Why is it important to study human development across the lifespan?
Your Answer:
Its important to study human development across the lifespan because
development does only occur in children and development is a lifelong
change
It would be inaccurate to say that change, or development, only
occurs in childhood. Particularly when one considers the various
aspects of development (aging, growth, maturation), it is evident
that development is lifelong.

Your Answer:
Saying development is multidirectional means that development isn't just
a straight line of improvements, we can also decline in development an
example is as we get older we may start to decline in health ect.
Development involves both improvement and decline. Specific
terms, such as growth, aging, and maturation reflect the
multidirectional nature of development.
Question 3 pts
Why is lifespan development multidisciplinary? Is there a reason why
various disciplines study lifespan development?
Your Answer:
Lifespan development is multidisciplinary because it encompasses many
different fields, biology, education and social sciences. Each of these
fields contribute and influence to each other.
