developmental processes

Developmental processes are the biological and psychological changes that occur throughout a person's life, shaping their physical growth, cognitive abilities, emotional understanding, and social skills. These processes include cell growth and differentiation during childhood, brain development, and learning experiences that influence behavior. They follow predictable patterns but can vary individually. Overall, development involves complex interactions between genetics, environment, and experiences, leading to the gradual progression from infancy to adulthood, and continuing throughout aging and maturity.
