AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Human development is comprised of four major domains: physical development, cognitive development, social-emotional development, and language development. Each domain, while unique in it’s own, has much overlap with all other domains.

Detailed explanation-2: -When used in relation to human development, the word “domain” refers to specific aspects of growth and change. The major domains of development are physical, cognitive, language, and social-emotional. Children often experience a significant and obvious change in one domain at a time.

Detailed explanation-3: -While it is true that development is a continuous process that never stops, it is also true that there are stages to growth and that developments unfold at predictable times across the life span.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Those domains are social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language.” The five critical domains inform the JBSA CDPs’ approach to early childhood education, but they also can provide a blueprint for parents as they facilitate their children’s development.
