Abstract
Human Development is an interdisciplinary field with the goal of understanding the complex biological, psychological, social, and contextual interactions that underlie individual development across the life span. Each phase of development (e.g., infancy, middle childhood, and adolescence) is uniquely characterized by differential experiences, developmental capabilities, and physiological functioning. Yet even within a particular phase of life, individual differences in behavioral expression exist, reflecting dynamic responses to experiences occurring in the past years, months, weeks, or even minutes. Further, human physiology is multifaceted, with multiple biological agents acting and interacting to influence behavior. Minimally invasive salivary assessments enable human development researchers to carefully disentangle these complex features of behavior by collecting an array of biological markers, across ecologically meaningful events, at appropriately timed intervals, starting on the first day of life. This chapter will review salivary bioscience’s contributions in furthering the field of human development. The chapter will focus on birth through adolescence, with special attention to the unique developmental experiences that characterize each broad phase of life.
