happenings of a person's life so that he can understand where
he has gone wrong and right in the past. It helps to plan the
future in a better constructive way.
Developmental Stages
Human Development focuses on human growth and
changes across the lifespan, including physical,
cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual, personality
and emotional growth. The study of human
developmental stages is essential to understanding
how humans learn, mature and adapt. The human
being is either in a state of growth or decline, but
either condition imparts change.
Developmental Stage Characteristics

1. Pre-natal (Conception to birth) Age when heriditary


endownments and sex are fixed
and all body features, both
external and internal are
developed.
2. Infancy (Birth to 2 years) Foundation age when basic
behavior are organized and many
ontogenetic maturation skills are
developed.
3. Early Childhood ( 2 to 6 years) Pre-gang age, exploratory, and
questioning. Language and
Elementary reasoning are acquired
and initial socialization is
experienced.
4. Late Childhood (6 to 12 years) Gang and creativity age when self-
help skills, social skills, school skills,
and play are developed.
5. Adolescence (puberty to 18 years) Transition age from childhood to
adulthood when sex maturation and
rapid physical development occur
resulting to changes in ways of
feeling, thinking and acting.

6. Early Adulthood (18-40 years) Age of adjustment to new patterns


of life and roles such as spouse,
parent and bread winner.

7. Middle Age (40 years to Transition age when adjustments to


retirement) initial physical and mental decline
are experienced.

8. Old Age (retirement to death) Retirement age when increasingly


rapid physical and mental decline
are experienced.
Havighurt's
Developmental Tasks
During The Life Span
Robert J. Havighurts
Elaborated on the Developmental Tasks Theory in the
most systematic and extensive manner. His main
assertion is that development is continuous
throughout the entire lifespan, occuring in stages,
where the individual moves from one stage to the
next by means of successful resolution of problems
or performance of developmental tasks.
Havighurts also proposed a bio psychological
model of development, wherein the
developmental tasks at each stage are
Influenced by the individual's
biology(physiological maturation and genetic
makeup), his psychology(personal values and
goals) and sociology(specific culture to which
the individual belongs).
