PART A

We began the study of human development by understanding that human development is more than just going from child to adult. Human development continues through the life-span, hence the term life-span development. Even though we look at human development across the life-span, there are still hallmarks or stages of human development that are considered distinct, especially in terms of psychosocial and physiological development.

Explain the main stages (not the theories) of human development and describe what you think may be the important hallmarks of each stage. Remember to utilize your course and relevant outside readings to support your assumptions.Use an APA style reference list with in-text citations in your initial response.

PART B

The Early Theories of Human Development

Several theories attempt to describe human development.

• Briefly describe the Freud, Erickson, and Piaget theories regarding development. Provide the major similarities and differences between each.
• Explain how these early theories were developed, and why there is concern related to race, gender, socioeconomic status, and other areas of diversity in how these theories were developed.
