Human Dev I/Child Psychology
There are four groups of questions. You will respond to one question from each group for a total of four responses. For each response, include the group and question number (e.g., G1 Q1) before you respond to the question. Demonstrate your learning by using the language of the course, citing your sources, and integrating concepts. DO NOT COPY DIRECTLY FROM THE TEXT. APA citation only.
Group 1 - Answer 1 of the following (worth 5 points):
1. Describe the ACE's study including what an ACE score represents (1 point) and how ACE scores relate to adult outcomes (1 point). Using either Bronfen
enner's model or the Lifespan Perspective describe how ACEs might influence development through these perspectives (2 points). How does the concept of resilience relate to ACE scores and long-term outcomes (1 point) (consider specific resilience factors discussed in Canvas and/or your course text)?
2. You hypothesize that parents of newborns who receive the PURPLE program materials will show more sensitive parenting behaviors. Briefly describe a study designed to test this hypothesis including a
ief description of the Period of PURPLE crying program (1 points); whether your study will be an experimental or co
elational design and why (1 point); what your independent and dependent variables (1 point) will be and how you will measure these variables (1 point); and who will be included in your study (1 point).
2. Explain a way affluent parenting could advantage and also a way it could disadvantage a child's outcome? (2pts) Discuss how poverty and homelessness influence prenatal development and prenatal health care, birth outcomes, and infant
ain development (3 pts).
Group 2: Answer 1 of the following (worth 5 points):
1. Describe the CRISPR method and how this method takes gene-environment influences to a whole new level (1 pt). In your discussion, include how CRISPR might exert an influence on child development, consider cu
ent and future generations (not only do these changes influence this generation but all future generations) (1 pt)? Discuss at least one negative and one positive outcome of using CRISPR to influence development (2 pt)? What do you think are the moral/ethical issues of CRISPR (think about both moral/ethical uses to support and prohibit CRISPR) (1 pt)?
2. Your friend Esme is wo
ied because she has been drinking and smoking (tobacco) and just found out that she is 4 weeks pregnant. She knows you're taking this class and asks your advice on how this will affect her developing baby. As you give advice, share what you know about the influence of these potential teratogens (1 point each - alcohol, smoking)? Share two factors that influence the effects of teratogens (1 point each) and when exposure for these teratogens is most detrimental (1 point).
Group 3: Answer 1 of the following (worth 5 points):
1. Watch the video and answer the questions below.
Play media comment.
· Based on the infant’s motor and perceptual skills how old (in months) do you think this child is and why? Present at least two developmental milestones you observe on the video that support your assessment of the child's age. (2 points)
· What evidence do you see of dynamic systems theory of motor development? What future development skill will these support? (2 points)
· How does the caregiver support the child’s motor and perceptual development (be sure to use concepts from course material)? (1 point)
2. Around a year of age infants typically take their first steps. Discuss how the following concepts are involved in this physical milestone: experience-expectant
ain growth; operant conditioning; Vygotsky's theory; dynamic systems theory; perceptual development (1 point for each concept).
3. Define the concepts of adaptation, assimilation, and accommodation (3 points). Explain how the balance between assimilation and accommodation varies over time with regard to cognitive equili
ium and disequili
ium (1 point). Use examples from your own life to illustrate each of these terms and processes of cognitive development (1 point).
Group 4: Answer 1 of the following (worth 5 points):
1. Considering what you know about infant/toddler development explain why we see positive development in the behavior (non-compliance, independence) in the the "Te
ible Twos." Why might we want to reframe this as the "Typical Twos?" Explain how behaviors that seem aggressive, noncompliant may just be a function of how infants and toddler learn about the world, reflect temperamental dimensions, manifest Erikson's sociodevelopmental stages, and how parenting behaviors can help shape these behaviors.
2. Gina, an 18-month old female from Brazil, has been separated from her parents at the US/Mexico border as her parents are processed for federal prosecution. What would you tell a friend who asks you what the short and long-term outcomes might be for Gina. In your response, include information on five of the following (1 point each):
ain development, attachment, sensitive periods, stress, temperament, and resilience. This is not an opinion piece. You must connect to course concepts and specific theory
esearch for credit - general statements will not count.
