DESCRIPTORS Adolescence, Early Childhood, *Early Experience, Economics, Environmental Influences, *Human Development, *Individual Development, Institutions, *Interdisciplinary Approach, Laws, Mental Development, Municipalities, Physical Development, Social Development, *Symposia ABSTRACT The papers presented at the Symposium on Issues in Human Development in Philadelphia, November 1967, are collected in this document. Included are lengthy extracts from the discussion. Participants at the conference were from the biologic and social sciences. The goal of the conference was not so much to reveal answers to problems as to make sure the right questions were being asked, in the hope that the ultimate answers might serve as guides to social and political action. The seven parts into which the conference was divided emphasized these aspects of human development: earliest influences; physical and chemical growth and development; socialization in early childhood; cognition and learning; adolescence; the city; institutions, economics and the law. All of the papers are timely; some were freshly updated before this publication. The issues discussed present the need for study and research, and for community action that will help children to live creative and productive lives.
