Understanding developmental processes in the individual as well as in aggregates of individuals is an important aim of many of the social and behavioural sciences. This book presents a theoretical framework for this endeavour - an architecture for the study of human development across different disciplines. This architecture describes two major sources of human development (biology and culture) and posits three central developmental mechanisms (selection, optimization, and compensation).
