Human development is the process in which a person grows as person. It basically inlcudes all the age stages of a person from infancy to old age.

Developmental Psychology studies each aspect in a persons life. From every single aspect of humans. From basic neurological instincts and thought process to the social development and moral systems that are gained through out time in each person. Not only does it study each stage of the human development but it also brings new ideas and theories for each person. Since there are many theories for the unraveling of how the human mind progresses things, and because of the fact that there are many environments in which a person can develop. There must different theories for different kinds of people. Since all humans cannot be compared as the same.
