Development Is Lifelong
According to the lifespan perspective, no age period is supreme
in its impact on the life course. Instead, events occurring during
each major period, summarized in Table 1.1, can have equally
powerful effects on future change. Within each period, change
occurs in three broad domains: physical, cognitive, and
emotional/social, which we separate for convenience of discussion
(see Figure 1.2 on the following page for a description of
each). Yet, as you are already aware from reading the first part
of this chapter, these domains are not really distinct; they overlap
and interact.
Every age period has its own agenda, its unique demands
and opportunities that yield some similarities in development
across many individuals. Nevertheless, throughout life, the
challenges people face and the adjustments they make are
highly diverse in timing and pattern, as the remaining assumptions
make clear.
