Theoretical Perspectives of Child Development Close There are many factors that affect a child's development, and there are many theories that attempt to explain different developments in the life of a child. The following is a list of theoretical perspectives of child development. While no one theory is completely correct, all of these theories have valuable information that should be gleaned from them. Maturational perspectives ascertain that the level of neurological development and the genetically directed increase of physiological developments directly affects the development of physical abilities. This is reflected when a child's writing ability increases throughout years of schooling because of the neurological growth that occurs (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2004, p. 22).
Human Development Task 1 Cognitive Development is defined as the orderly changes by which mental processes become more complex and sophisticated (Slavin, 2009, p. 31). By understanding the way children grow and learn and the various stages of development, educators can tailor curriculum and activities to enhances and maximize learning and further development. Development is defined as “how people grow, adapt, and change over the course of their lifetimes, through physical development, personality development, social emotional development, cognitive development (thinking), and language development” (Slavin, 2009, p.31).

Glass and Selinker (2001, p. 1) describe the study of second language acquisition as “the study of how languages are learned”. Dictionary.com defines bilingualism as “the ability to speak two languages fluently”. The Issue There seems to be many advantages to learning a second language, however these advantages are normally mentioned in situations where children grow up, immersed in bilingual households from an early age.
