Abstract

  

Introduction

Mental development is a lifelong process through which individuals acquire, refine, and adapt their intellectual and emotional abilities. This dynamic progression involves not only the growth of knowledge and reasoning but also the formation of personality, emotional intelligence, and social behaviour. Understanding how mental development occurs can enhance practices in education, parenting, and therapy, and can offer insights into mental health conditions.. [

Mental development encompasses the progressive changes in cognitive, emotional, and social capacities across the human lifespan. From infancy to adulthood, the brain undergoes complex transformations influenced by genetic, environmental, and experiential factors. This article explores key theories, stages, and factors affecting mental development, highlighting their implications in education, psychology, and health.. [4-10].

conclusion

Mental development is a complex, multifaceted journey shaped by biology, experience, and culture. By deepening our understanding of its mechanisms, society can better support individuals in reaching their full intellectual and emotional potential.
