Child psychology includes issues such as the extent to which development occurs through the gradual accumulation of knowledge versus stage-like development, or the extent to which children are born with innate mental structures versus learning through experience. Many researchers are interested in the interaction between personal characteristics, the individual\'s behaviour and environmental factors including social context, and their impact on development; others take a more narrowly focused approach.
