Developmental Constructs

The purpose of this Final Project Assignment is for you to recognize human development and outcomes (e.g., developmental constructs, processes, milestones, and stages) through the lifespan of an influential person. You will describe this person’s development through physical, cognitive, and social-emotional processes at various key periods of his or her development, and how their development is influenced by nature (genetics), nurture (environment), or both. For this Assignment, you will read a biography about an individual of your choosing: MAYA ANGELOU. Explain the development and outcomes of the person’s life through childhood in terms of the appropriate constructs, processes, and theories of development. Address as many of the relevant ages and stages as possible. Part 1 (3 page) Explain the person’s life from prenatal development through childhood in terms of nature/nurture influences.
