Abstract
Human growth, development, and maturation are multifaceted processes that
involve different aspects, including biological, physical, social, and intellectual aspects.
Between conception and maturity, the size and complexity of the human body change
dramatically. A multitude of changes in sensory, cognitive, and motor coordination are
also associated with the development of an individual from infancy to adolescence and
are related to brain growth and maturation. All the different facets of development are,
however, interrelated. This chapter summarizes the various concepts, principles,
theories, factors affecting growth and the parameters used to measure and assess
maturity from time to time.
