Description
Developmental research has typically focused on one
specific and rather narrowly defined age group. It is
suggested that attention to a life-span perspective is
increasing and that potentially such a perspective will
integrate our concept of human development, especially
in regard to the study of aging. Toward this end, the
paper discusses paradigm differences in the definition
of development and how these definitions have affected
previous developmental studies. The developmental theories
of Piaget, Mead, and Erikson are presented as a broad
theoretical framework for life-span research. Methodological
implications of a life-span perspective are
considered.
