MATILDA RILEYS
LIFE SPAN PERSPECTIVE
- Needs to view the entire life span to
understand a persons development
- Considers social, environmental and
historical aspects of ones life.
- Patterns of development of the society
- FOUR FEATURES OF THELIFE SPAN
APPROACH
o Multi-directionality
Different areas of
development grow and
decline at the same time.
o Plasticity
Skills and abilities can be
improved or developed
throughout the life span.
o Historical Context
Historical periods must
be considered in
examining development.
o Multiple Causation
Biological , psychological,
socio-cultural, and life
cycle changes must be
considered.
PAUL B. BALTES

Together with his colleagues identified 6 key
principles.
1. Development is life-long.
2. Development involves both gain and
loss.
(Multidimensional and
multidirectional)
3. Relative influences of biological and
cultural shift over the life span.
