Explanation / Answer
Ans1. The four aspets of human overall development can be Physical/motor development, Cognitive development, emotional and social development. If any of the skills is lacking then there is problem in normal development The physical development starts from early childhood, here baby's normal development stages are measured such as crawling, walking sitting etc, able to listen to voice etc. Cognitive development refers to thinking capacity of child how logocally, abstract etc the child starts thinking, in which direction child starts thinking. Emotional development - Emotional development starts from 3-5 years of age, wherein child can knows how to express emotions through anger, love, crying, happiness etc. As child grows these emotions are matured. Social development - As human being is a social animal he /she has to deal with society or people around. Hence how well the individual adjusts with the society, communication,nonverbal cues etc as aspects of Social development.
Ans 3. There are many principles of growth and development are 1) Development is continous and gradual - The development begins from infacy can continue with additions tin old age even if basic maturity is attained. Development does not take place over night it takes years. 2) Development varies from person to person - Each person's physical, emotionl, social development is different. 3) Development is by product of nature and nurture - Both hereditery and enviornment factors contribute to development of human. esp. emotional and social development.
Ans 4. Cerebral cortex in thin layer of brain that covers outer portion of cerebrum. The cerebral cortex of human being is more developed than any other animal. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes - a) frontal lobe - It is very most of personaliyt traits are developed, it is ability to control our emotions and thoughts b) Pareital lobes - they are located above frontal lobes, they are responsibile for touch or sensations of human being (both pleasure and pain) eg. if touch something hard or rough vs any soft.. c) Occipital Lobes - They are located at back of our brain and are responsible for eyesight. d) Temporal lobes - It is locatd above the ears on both side of brain. These lobes control our hearing and audio cortex,
Ans 5) Laterilization - Our brain is divided into two parts left and right hemisphere. And both of te hemispheres co ordinate wit each other and they have different functions. Left hemisphere is concerened with logical or analytical thinking while right hemisphere is concerned with emotional or creativity context. Plasticity - Human brains's tendency to change throughout life is known as plasticity. Plasticity can vary by age, eg. as you grow more older one understands most of the eomotions.Environment plays essential role in plasticity
