Evolutionary Psychology of Development and Change in Human Being
Although, development psychology aimsevolutionary process of each individual, in order to intuit the alterations that it suffers throughout its existence.
People who investigate this process, that is, development psychologists, normally, according to what we learned, focus on the childhood stage, since, in this period it is where the greatest transformations occur.
As investigated and the support material that was provided, we could deduce the importance of this branch of psychology, since, experience or study the biological, emotional, cognitive and social processes of the individual, having as priority, represent, exposeand optimize the development of people, and this based on the application of the different theories that support this process, and thus, assertively solve the contrarities that are held throughout this evolutionary judgment.
Within this process there are weight factors that influence the development of the person, factors such as nature, which refers to the biological maturation of being and its inheritance, that is, from where the individual’s phenotypes start (the physical characteristics ofThe person), and on the other hand we have the raising of the person, this being the most important factor, because, it is the component that modifies the physical and cognitive aspects of the individual, managing to acquire knowledge through experience.
There are other factors that interact with each other and help in this process, we refer to biological and environmental factors, being the latter, the constituent of our behavior, since, this encloses the application of conditioning to stimulate a change or modify a chimeric behaviorof the individual (mainly in children), while, the biological factor will be the determinant of the different features or body and behavior characters that we exhibit.
As I mentioned earlier, these factors have an interaction with each other, because, at the time of a person born, it already comes with certain qualities, and in their development process – depending on their growth environment – these qualities are molded,And on the other hand, it can be said that, although there are features that are established by our genetics, we can choose who we want to be as we grow and in the way we are acquiring learning.
These modification processes suffered by the person mentioned above, is called plasticity, that is, the changes that an individual can present based on interactions with the family, experiences in school and socialization day by day with the environment thatsurrounds.
Plasticity is linked to a branch of psychology that investigates and examines how these processes occur in normal scenarios, just as it analyzes how these components can be interrupted in abnormal situations, and this will help us intuit in why beings beingsHumans change and grow. After discovering the modifications suffered by the nervous system in its reactivity produced by continuous activations, neuroplasticity germinated, which is also known as "cerebral plasticity" and this refers to the ability of the brain to adapt and change as a result of behaviorAnd experience, since, as we gain experiences and new behaviors, synaptic connections are strengthened, while those that are not used are eliminated.
