THE CATEGORY OF DEVELOPMENT IN MODERN PSYCHOLOGY
Abstract
The article deals with the modern approaches to the interpretation of the category of development. Displaying basis of appropriate approaches, including the establishment of post-nonclassic methodology, the focus of modern psychology on the individual trajectory of development, authorship of his own life, as well as on the development throughout life, the specifics of development in adulthood and old age, change the standard of social situations. Analyzed the development site in the related psychological concepts. Considered heterochrony of development, especially in adulthood, as the development of regression, the difference of "development" of "personal growth." Describes the development of an ontology category (perfect form, the event and mediation), as well as criterial basis for the development - the emergence neoplasms as a result of the so-called self-development work. Neoplasms in adults is joined in the concept of mental model of the subject's world, and it is shown that only when it is essential, fundamental change we can talk about the event development. This aspect is particularly relevant to studies of intellectual development in adulthood and old age.
