proceed rather independently.<br />
These three important subjects might<br />
seem very one-or-the-other, but they<br />
are anything but that. There is more and<br />
more consensus among scientists and<br />
psychologists that development is probably<br />
caused by multiple factors at all levels.<br />
This means that there is rarely just<br />
one correct answer to the question ‘what<br />
causes this development?’ or ‘which of<br />
these is true’. Finding out exactly what<br />
the answer is seems pretty much impossible,<br />
but the psychological community<br />
will keep trying and trying to get as close<br />
to the answer as possible.<br />
As humans we are constantly<br />
developing in one way or<br />
another, for better or for<br />
worse<br />
