Document Summary
One key question in child development is what develops when. That is, what can children do, think, or feel/express at different ages. In investigating this question, psychologists focus on three key areas of development: physical, cognitive, and socioemotional. Use the table below to record the key milestones within each domain that occur in each of the key periods of development. Record any overall trends below the domain name. As children develop, they are continually acquiring new ways of acting, thinking, and understanding the world and those around them. One key question in child development is how children acquire these increasingly sophisticated skills and abilities. Psychologists have proposed and identified various processes (biological and cognitive) that cause changes in children. Generally, there are a small set of mechanisms that are used to explain development across the wide-ranging kinds of skills and abilities that develop. Many factors that influence the rate and extent to which children develop certain milestones.
