REFLECTION: This unit was useful because it helped me to learn that the human
development is the study of how and why human beings develop over the course of
their life. Therefore, I identified the main stages of human development which are
physical, cognitive and psychological and I learnt the life cycle stages and the
different theories about human growth, development and learning.
