General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will describe and study changes, continuity and growth that occurs in human development from infancy to older age. You will learn the complexities of development, including theoretical frameworks for understanding patterns of transition and constancy across the human life course. You will discuss the biological, physical, psycho-social, cognitive, cultural and contextual factors affecting development. You will be introduced to concepts and terminology used in life course development. Implications of life course development issues for health professional practice will be explored. You will be provided a sound foundation for understanding expected life course events and a basis for learning about atypical life course occurrences in subsequent units.
