Correct Answer - Option 4 : It does not proceed at the same pace for all.

Development refers to qualitative changes in an individual such as a change in personality or other mental and emotional aspects. The process of development continues even after the individual has attained physical maturity (growth). The individual is continuously changing as he/she interacts with the environment.

Development is correlated:

  • All types of developments, i.e. physical, mental, social, and emotional, are related to each other. For example, a child, who is physically healthy is likely to have superior sociability and emotional stability. The child develops as a unified whole.
  • Each area of development is dependent on the other and thus influences the other developments. For example, Sufi has appropriate weight and height for her age. She also has a well-developed language ability that enables her to communicate with everyone. 

Development is continuous:

  • This principle defines that development is a life-long process as it does not stop at maturation and continues gradually until reaching its maximum growth. 
  • From the moment of conception till death, the individual is continuously changing. There is no break/discontinuity in development, in some stages development is fast and in some it is slow.

Development proceeds stage by stage:

  • The development of the child occurs in different stages. Each stage has certain unique characteristics. There are individual differences in the rate of growth and development. Therefore, the age limit for different stages should be regarded as just approximate.
  • The development does not proceed at a uniform rate but it does follow a definite sequence or pattern and is somewhat uniform i.e., the child learns saying "papa" to greet every man he meets, but it's only afterward he uses it for his father only. 

Development is spiral, not linear: 

  • The child does not develop at a constant pace but he makes advancement on stage and then takes a rest in the following period to consolidate his development. So, he turns back and then moves forward again like a spiral.

Thus, it is concluded that according to the principles of development, Development does not proceed at the same pace for all, is a true statement.
