* occurs in many animals, including humans.

Bone development
* dynamic and on-going process.
* is permitted in regions of low stress and strain
  - well documented in miniature swine

Career development

* continuous process of learning to make good life choices.
* is development
  - measured in job title, promotions, salary, raises, and bonuses

Coastal development
* affects marine turtles in many different ways.
* contributes to habitat loss in a number of ways.
* impacts on land-coastal waters.

### process | development:

Cognitive development
* Identify cognitive developmental characteristics.
* allows the child to progress from immature to mature levels of thinking.
* consists of a succession of changes which are structural.
* focuses on how children learn and process information.
* involves both stability and plasticity over time.
* is an integral part of all activities
  - limited to a certain range at any given age
  - studied from two dominant approaches-Piagetian and information processing
  - the development of the thinking and organizing systems of the brain
  - viewed as a progression through stages that become increasingly complex
  - what the individual knows, and how they acquire their information
* plays an important role in determining the level of children's TV knowledge.
* proceeds at the same rate in all domains.
* slow gradual process of change.

Commercialization
* has a negative impact on the science of paleontology.
* includes both government and commercial markets
  - private markets
* is development
