Adult Development is a branch of Developmental Psychology. One simple breakdown of the field is to look at its three dimensions.

• Dimension 1: Change: Loss, Stasis, Positive Adult Development
• Dimension 2: Types of Change: Maturation, Learning, Developmental stage, and Periods
• Dimension 3: Psychological processes in Adult Development.

For example, Positive Adult Developmental may be divided into at least six parts: hierarchical complexity, (orders, stages), knowledge, experience, expertise, wisdom, and spirituality.

Nondevelopmental forms include adulthood and adult human behavior.

While adult development has long been a subject reserved for academia and medical professions, in recent years, adult development has become an integral part of leadership and executive development.
