Theories of human development have been most susceptible to criticism for overemphasizing. True or False?

That statement is true

To be more precise, they have been most susceptible to criticism for overemphasizing discrete age-linked stages.

Discrete age linked stages refers to the assumption that human would experience a certain level of development as we got into a certain age.

The problem with this is that people develop at a different rate. The development that happened to people is influenced by many factors such as intelligence level, environmental factors, personal experience, etc.

Because of this, theories of human development faced a lot of criticism. They overemphasize how much age influence the development that occurs to people.
