Detailed Explanation & Solution
In psychology, 'Growth' refers to quantitative or measurable changes in physical size, weight, and structure, which stop after a certain age (usually upon reaching maturity). In contrast, 'Development' is a broad, continuous, and lifelong process that includes quantitative changes (such as height and weight) along with qualitative changes (such as functional efficiency, mental, and emotional maturity). Various principles of development, such as the 'Principle of Continuity', 'Rule of General to Specific', and 'Principle of Integration', confirm that development is an orderly and integrated process.
