A normative age-graded influence is an event or development that is typical and experienced in a similar way by most people within a particular age group. Examples include puberty, menopause, and retirement. Nonnormative influences are events that are irregular and do not follow a typical pattern, such as winning the lottery or experiencing a traumatic event. Cohort refers to the group of individuals who were born in the same time period and cultural refers to the norms, values, beliefs, and customs of a particular group or society.
