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.

Age stratification, which is based on the social status of a person, is a major source of inequalities and differences between age groups and consequently may lead to ageism. (GCIT, 2012a) 3.

The main principle of lifespan psychology is that human development is influenced by external (historical and cultural) and internal (psychological and physiological) factors.
