Development - the pattern of change that begins at conception and continues through the life span Normative age-graded influences - influences that are similar for individuals in a particular age group. These influences include biological process such as puberty and menopause. Non-normative life events - unusual occurrences that have a major impact on the lives of individual people. These events do not happen to everyone, and when they do occur they can influence people in different ways....
