Development refers to orderly, coherent changes toward maturity. There are four types of development: changes in size, proportion, disappearance of old features, and acquisition of new features. The two main factors of development are maturation of hereditary traits and learning from experiences. Development rates are rapid from birth to age 6, except for the first two weeks, and slower from ages 6 to adolescence.
