Refers to the changes that occur to the body and its systems
What are the Aspects of Physical Development?
Growth- eg. people get bigger until the end of puberty
Changes to body systems- egg. increase of complexity of the brain, changes to sex organ function during puberty, and decline of body systems
Motor Skill Development-
Fine motor skills: eg. writing, cutting with scissors, tying shoelaces
Gross motor skills: eg. running, throwing a ball, riding a bike
What are the 3 periods of rapid growth during the human lifespan?
- Puberty
- Prenatal
- Infancy
key characteristics of development
orderly and predicatble
What are the changes to body systems?
Tissue and body systems also change in structure and function
eg:
-replacement of baby teeth with permanent teeth
-hardening of bones until early adulthood
-change in the way sex organs functions during youth
-development of the immune system
what are motor skills?
refers to the control of the muscles in the body
what are gross motor skills?
movements that involve large muscle groups
eg- walking, throwing, skipping and kicking
what are fine motor skills?
control over the smaller muscle groups
eg- writing, tying shoelaces, cutting with scissors, manipulating the mouth to speak.
physical transitions from youth to adulthood
growth;
-girls grow 16cm (10-13) and 16kg in weight. boys grow 20cm (12-15) and 20kg in weight
-end of youth the epiphyseal plates in long bone fuses and no more growth is possible.
changes to body systems;
-changes of the reproductive systems including sex organs and the way they function
primary sex characteristics;
-the body that is directly involved in reproduction
secondary sex characteristics;
-changes that occur to both males and females but are not present at both and not directly related to reproduction
what is motor skills development?
-by the end puberty, the arms and legs are proportionate to the rest of the body and coordination improves. as the body matures during the youth, the individual will gain more control over it.

intellectual changes as youth transition into adulthood -
knowledge and memory
focus more on the future - this may lead to further study which require individuals to understand more complex concepts. as the brain develops, memory capacity increases
what is emotional development?
Occurs as individuals experience the full range of emotions and learn ways to appropriately express emotions. Resilience also further develops in this stage.
