Sandra Santana Mrs. Lopez Psychology 25 11 November 2015 #1 Different Processes in Human Development; Biological, Cognitive and Socioemotional Processes (SLO #1) In this course we learned that there are three different processes that a human being goes through during their life-span development. These are biological, cognitive and social emotional processes. When I first started taking the course I didn’t even know that these three processes existed, but I’ve become familiar with the three of them throughout this course. According to John Santrock in the book Lifespan Development (15th ed.). he states that in the biological process a person changes physically. This can include a persons weight, height, brain development among other things (Santrock, J.K, 2015). Not every children has the same brain development as another children because even if both of the children are the same age their brain doesn’t develop at the same pace. One of them might develop faster than the other. In cognitive process this is the different ways of a persons way of thinking, their intelligence and memorizing things (Santrock, J.K, 2015). Lastly there is the socioemotional processes. In this process I learned that this has to do on how an individual gets along with other people, their changes in emotions (Santrock, J.K, 2015).

Although I have learned about biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes and periods of development, I am especially interested in socioemotional development in infancy because it is the foundation for a child’s future development. That is to say, if children have a healthy socioemotional development from infancy, they will have a healthy life later on.
