Human development… ¿What do you already know? ¿What do you want to know?
Two key factors influence and determine human development: Biology ~ nature
– Genetic inheritance & maturation processes
Environment ~ nurture
– Home, place, moment, history, culture… what else?
Human development … El desarrollo humano…
Biología y ambiente
In your opinion: Which factor most influences this child’s behavior?
Biología <-- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --> Ambiente
What do you think? Why?
Biological or environmental influence?
Seeks to understand how and why people change and remain the same over time.
It is a science* Studies all kinds of
people Studies what changes
over time and what stays the same
* What is science? Un enfoque científico
The science of human development The science of human development
Continuity – some characteristics are stable over time (for example?)
Discontinuity – some
characteristics are unlike those than came before (e.g., speaking a new language; learning new skills)
Continuidad y descontinuidad

Changes, over time, in the body, the mind and the behavior of the individual as a result of biological and environmental factors.
Some scientists consider these changes to happen in stages.
Human development:
Algunos cambios suceden por etapas
Development is not dictated solely by biological forces or by environmental conditions.
Rather it is the result of the interaction of these two factors.
Human development:
The interaction between biology and environment
Interacción recíproca entre la biología y el ambiente
Your opinion: In this example, is one factor more influential than the other? What do you think? Why?
Biología <-- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 --> Ambiente
Biological or environmental influence? Historical moment Cohorts Social constructions
Cultural context • Belief systems • Customs and traditions
Socioeconomic status
Contexts of development
is the ability to overcome severe threats to development
For example, the impact of poverty may be lessened by supportive schools and/or teachers, stable and loving family members, and by the child’s personality.
Resilience
The influence of environmental
factors Influencias del ambiente
Divided into domains (areas) to facilitate study and research.
In reality all areas of development are interdependent. What does that mean?
Three developmental
domains
Three areas of study of
human development

Biosocial development Three
developmental domains
genetic & biological factors
physical development health and nutrition motor skills
large and small motor development and coordination
Desarrollo físicomotor y fisiológico
Three developmental
domains
Mental processes and operations (perception, thinking and imagination)
Learning and knowing (memory, judgment and decision-making)
Communication skills (verbal and non-verbal)
Desarrollo cognitivo y del
lenguaje
Cognitive and language development
Psychosocial development Social, emotional and personality development
Desarrollo psicosocial
Emotions Social
relationships and interactions
Sense of self (identity) and personality development
Name the three developmental domains
How are they represented in this scene? • Write first… then

Tres áreas de estudio de la ciencia del desarrollo humano
Repaso Review In pairs, answer these four questions:
1. What is development? 2. What are the two key factors that
influence the course of development? 3. What are the three areas or domains for
studying human development? 4. One thing you learned that’s most
interesting to you. Share first,then 5-minute individually write
Preparing for success in this class… What are the characteristics of
a successful student? Course description Syllabus Textbook First reading and writing
