Development in the Lifespan/Preschool & Elderly
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page research study (including an abstract) that consists of a literature review of scholarly research and articles available online through the Internet databases.

The review encompasses 12 sources, which includes sources for establishing a theoretical base. The researcher analyzes this data in order to reach conclusions about the generations and concludes that while there are, of course, marked differences, the literature supports the study hypothesis that there are numerous common factors across the generations that support the conceptualization of the lifespan as a continuum and not a series of distinct, separate stages. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
