Answer 1

The three major domains of human development are:

2. Physical
3. Psychosocial

How developmernt in one domain may lead to development in another domain:

1. Physical changes in the body occur as a result of maturation and biological development. Growth is both due to physical growth and mental growth.
2. Mental growth can also be termed as cognitive development. This is the stage where a person begins to form an identity of themselves and others, inspired by the household environment and the environment in the community.
3. Interaction with people in the community gives rise to a sense of community feeling and togetherness or identifying themselves as being as a part of an ingroup, thus leading to psychosocial development.
