Jenny learned to play the piano as a child and played very well until she was in late adolescence, when she stopped playing. In her 40s she decided to start to play the piano again. She quickly realized that she had lost most of her ability to play after decades of not playing so she took lessons again to relearn how to play piano. After several years of lessons she once again plays the piano very well. This example illustrates the multidirectional nature of development. T/F

When it comes to development, it is thought of a pattern of change over time, which begins in conception and continues throughout the lifetime. Development takes place in different domains, such as biological (changes in the physical being), social (changes in social relations), emotional (changes in our emotional understanding, experience and expression), cognitive (change in our thought processes). Based on this, we say that the development is multi-dimensional. And there is also a multidirectional development that implies that these dimensions are reduced and grown at different points in a person's life. Thus, some dimensions of our development over time, and at some point in our lives, will be smaller, some larger.

This statement is: True.
