I have learned many new theories and concepts related to development among human beings through this course. It is a vast knowledge that includes several concepts and stages of development that occur during this long and extensive course of development. Categorizing these developmental changes into physiological, psychosocial, and moral development provides more elaborative knowledge about this complex phenomenon. The influence of these different kinds of developmental changes and their combined factors are also interesting and valuable to consider. The developmental changes that we have discussed according to the ages and developmental stages are all unique throughout this course. The uniqueness of each developmental stage and enduring characteristics of the individuals at each stage of development makes this phenomenon of development more interesting (Kraus, 2008).
