Physical Changes in Adolescence by W. W. Greulich - 1944The physical changes which occur during this early period of life
include both growth and development: growth, in the sense of an ihcrease
in mass, volume, and external dimensions, and development, in
the sense of becoming progressively more complex. These two processes,
growth and development, do not proceed at the same absolute rate or
at the same relative rate throughout this early period of life. There are
intervals during which the body is increasing in size more rapiclly than
it is growing in complexity, and there are other times at which this relationship
is reversed. Some of the developmental changes which occur
during adolescence are, perhaps, best appreciated when viewed in the
light of some events which have preceded them.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 43, No. 1. |
