Lifespan development approach is a description and explanation of behavioural changes in an individual from conception to death. It emphasizes the differences between individuals in terms of their patterns of change and stability throughout their lives. Developmental psychology and the whole life approach are related concepts but do not capture the full spectrum of individual differences and changes over the lifespan. The longitudinal method is a research design that can be used to study lifespan development but is not the same as the approach or the field of study itself.
