Abstract
The domain of the field of child development is broad, including topics from all of the biological and social sciences. Researchers are united not by interest in a single type of human behavior or functioning, such as vision, or attitudes, or blood chemistry, but by a common approach—that of looking at variables assessed at different times or ages. Two basic questions in child development have stirred people’s interest throughout history and continue to do so: (1) What factors—biological and environmental—are primary determinants of a child’s behavior? (2) Is there continuity in human development that allows one to predict the behavior of the adult from that of the child?
