This document discusses the stages of human development from infancy through adulthood. It outlines four main stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Within each stage, it examines physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. The document also briefly discusses longitudinal and cross-sectional approaches to understanding development, noting that longitudinal studies observe the same individuals over time while cross-sectional studies observe different age groups at the same time.

8. Longitudinal and cross sectional approaches of understanding
development
Longitudinal cross sectional
Same child or same group is studied
at various stages of growth through
observation From time to time
Children of various stages of growth
are selected and observed in groups
at a same time
Over a period of time A single period of time
It takes decades to complete It takes less in comparison to
longitudinal
