Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The traditional approach of developmental change focuses on the changes that occur from birth to adolescence, while the life-span approach recognizes that developmental change occurs throughout adulthood as well as childhood. Therefore, the psychologists are most likely to differ on whether developmental change is limited to the early years or if it is a lifelong process. The other options are not directly related to the differences between the two approaches.
