Objective: .1.2 .Identify .three .basic .issues .on .which .theories .of .human .development .take .a .stand.
.Topic: .Basic .Issues
Difficulty .Level: .Moderate

The .discontinuous .view .of .development .holds .that .
infants .and .preschoolers .respond .to .the .world .in .much .the .same .way .adults .do
growth .is .the .process .of .gradually .augmenting .the .skills .that .were .present .from .the .beginning
.infants .and .children .have .unique .ways .of .thinking, .feeling, .and .behaving
development .is .a .smooth .process .limited .only .by .a .lack .of .information .and .precision
