This
paper explores the idea that
development occurs throughout the
lifespan. When one thinks of development, it instantly brings to mind a positive image of
gain and progression but, from a lifespan perspective, development is multi-directional, it is more than simply accumulating more attributes and capacities as we journey through life. It involves loss as well as gain, growth as well as decline. This paper explores the biological,
cognitive and psychosocial theories of development occurring in late
Life.
