ABSTRACT
This book is concerned with human development, particularly over the years of schooling. What do we mean by human development? By human development we specifically refer to systematic, age-related changes in physical and psychological functioning. In the following two chapters we focus on physical and motor development as children grow from infancy to adulthood. Physical development refers to physical and neurological growth and motor development refers to age-related changes in motor skills. In later chapters we deal with psychological development.
