Key Concepts

Developmental Continuity

This concept refers to the idea that development occurs in a gradual, cumulative manner, where changes build incrementally over time. It emphasizes the steady progression and the gradual unfolding of skills and abilities, mirroring continuous growth processes found in nature.

Developmental Stages

This concept posits that development occurs through distinct, qualitatively different phases or steps, where transitions from one stage to another often involve abrupt changes. It highlights the notion that certain developmental changes are marked by significant shifts rather than solely gradual improvements.
