Читать книгу Lifespan Development - Tara L. Kuther - Страница 52

Psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, biologists, neuroscientists, and medical researchers all conduct research that is relevant to understanding aspects of human development. For example, consider cognitive development. Children’s performance on cognitive measures, such as problem solving, are influenced by their physical health and nutrition (Anjos et al., 2013), interactions with peers (Holmes, Kim-Spoon, & Deater-Deckard, 2016), and neurological development (Ullman, Almeida, & Klingberg, 2014)—findings from the fields of medicine, psychology, and neuroscience, respectively. To understand how people develop at all periods in life, developmental scientists must combine insights from all of these disciplines.
