Abstract
![CDATA[In a number of contemporary uses, development still retains the meaning of unfolding, unwrapping, evolving, and changing that it inherits from the lC16 F desvoleper . Developmental psychology studies changes in, and the evolution of, thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. This use of "development" as change and progress toward a goal also features in the language of music, photography, and mathematics. Commercial enterprises sink vast amounts of money to design and improve products and services, and "R&D" - research and development - features on the agenda of most corporate board meetings.]]
