An exposition is given of the relative significance of chronological age in human developmental psychology. Some theoretical concepts in life-span developmental psychology are discussed in so far as they relate to age categorization. It is concluded that knowledge of the individual's experience of age deserves greater attention and that this can be accomplished by application of the phenomenological research approach
