The evolutionary perspective encompasses one of the fastest-growing areas within the field of lifespan development: behavioral genetics.
Q. What theory did Erikson propose that emphasized society and culture influence and shape us?
Erikson’s theory is based on what he calls the epigenetic principle, encompassing the notion that we develop through an unfolding of our personality in predetermined stages, and that our environment and surrounding culture influence how we progress through these stages.

Q. What type of Lifespan Development is interested in exploring the process of learning memory and intelligence?
Physical development involves growth and changes in the body and brain, the senses, motor skills, and health and wellness. Cognitive development involves learning, attention, memory, language, thinking, reasoning, and creativity. Psychosocial development involves emotions, personality, and social relationships.
Q. Which perspective is based on learning through imitation?
Social learning theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of observing, modelling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Social learning theory considers how both environmental and cognitive factors interact to influence human learning and behavior.
Q. What is the basic concept of life span development?
Lifespan Development refers to the full process of human development from conception to death. It is a holistic approach to understanding all of the physiological, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that people go through.
Q. Can logistic growth continue indefinitely?
Carrying capacity and the logistic model In the real world, with its limited resources, exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely. Eventually, the growth rate will plateau or level off.
Q. Can exponential growth continue indefinitely?
In the real world, with its limited resources, exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely. Exponential growth may occur in environments where there are few individuals and plentiful resources, but when the number of individuals gets large enough, resources will be depleted and the growth rate will slow down.
Q. What does logistic growth look like?
A graph of logistic growth is shaped like an S. Early in time, if the population is small, then the growth rate will increase. When the population approaches carrying capacity, its growth rate will start to slow. Finally, at carrying capacity, the population will no longer increase in size over time.
