Summary
Human development is the study of how people change on physical, intellectual and social levels. Students learn about key theories and theorists in this field, and how they explain human development.
Human Development Defined
Human development looks at how people grow and change. It is not just about improvement. It is also about how people adapt to different stages of life.
Jean Piaget's Theory
Piaget was a Swiss cognitive theorist. He believed that children actively construct knowledge as they explore their world.
Vygotsky and Bronfenbrenner
Vygotsky and Bronfenbrenner both studied how children learn from their environment. Vygotsky focused on social interaction. Bronfenbrenner looked at multiple levels of the environment.
Language Development
Babies start to learn language in the first year. They distinguish sounds, understand words, and start to speak. Reinforcement and imitation help, but do not fully explain language development.
