The traditional approach focuses on the idea that most developmental change occurs from birth to adolescence, whereas the life-span approach emphasizes that development occurs throughout the entire lifespan, including adulthood. Therefore, the two psychologists are most likely to differ on this aspect of developmental change. The other options (A, B, and D) are not necessarily related to the traditional approach versus the life-span approach.
