This document outlines a three-part assignment on human development. Part one requires identifying two major physical, cognitive, and social changes or challenges for childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Part two asks students to imagine how a person's behavior might be affected if one area of development was missing, and describe possible results. Part three involves writing at least 100 words describing the concept of nature versus nurture.

1. For each developmental domain, physical, cognitive, and social,
identify two major changes or challenges associated with the
following stages: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

Part II – Developmental Gaps

to the following in at least 150 words:

2. Demonstrate the interdependence of all the areas of
development (physical, cognitive, and social) by imagining a
persons’ behavior with one area missing. Create a scenario with
an area of development lacking and describe the possible
results. You may focus on a specific age or imagine how a later
age would be affected by the lack of an area during an earlier
age (e.g., how a lack of cognitive development during infancy
would affect the behavior of an adult).
