Document Summary
Life span perspective: takes into account all phases of life not just childhood and adulthood. Critical period: a time when a particular type of development in body or behaviour must happen if it is going to happen i. e. limbs in the embryo must grow between certain times or they will never grow. Sensitive period: when a development is most likely to happen or easiest to happen, it may still happen but it may be more difficult i. e. learning a language when young is easier then when older. Cohort: a group of people who are born a couple years apart. When dealing with historical content the way that facebook has made an impact is that it changed the way people interact and they are able to purse relationships that they may have not in person. This helps physiological wellbeing, and it decreases the social challenges.
