Abstract: Psychology seeks to explain human behavior and how to interpret the human mind through four fundamental components of work, as follows: Subjective emotional feelings; Cognitive aspects (thinking, intelligence, attention, memory - as measurable dimensions); Behavioral aspects; Psychobiological elements (physical, bodily changes generated by psychological factors (David, 2006). Studies and research in the field (Robu, 2017) also indicate a very general classification of the skills available to man throughout his stages of psychological development, respectively cognitive skills and noncognitive skills. The much studied stages of the child's development as well as the other stages of development, although abundant in information, do not constitute a closed chapter, and the development issue still maintains the current controversy between the degree of contribution given by heredity versus environment, simultaneously with a relative academic consensus generated by the interaction between them.
