Lifespan Development Reflective Paper Capella University Reflective Paper According to Boyd & Bee (2006), lifespan development is the scientific study of age-related changes which occur throughout individuals’ lives which influence behavior, thinking, emotion and personality.

Others such as learning to swim, or use a computer, are primarily a matter of environment. Prior to analyzing human development through the scientific study, philosophers offered theories to explain age related differences observed in individuals of different ages.
