The term Development means a progressive series of changes which occurs as a result of ............ and .......

  • A.Biological and Psychological
  • B.Age and Maturation
  • C.Maturation and Experience
  • D.Psychological and Social

Answer: C

Development results from maturation and experience.

Development is defined as a progressive, orderly series of changes arising from the interaction of maturation (the unfolding of inherited biological potential) and experience (learning and environmental influence). This is the standard definition found in Hurlock and similar developmental texts.

'Biological and psychological' and 'psychological and social' describe domains in which development occurs, not its causes. 'Age and maturation' is wrong because age is only a marker of time; it causes nothing by itself, and the pair leaves out learning.
