In
this unit, we will discuss physical, cognitive, social, and emotional
development through the study of neuroscience, Piagetian theory, Eriksonian,
theory, social learning theory, and the expression of cognitive skill through
play.
Discussion
1 of 2 at least 350 words
During
early childhood, the brain reaches about 70% of its total weight with the
growth of white matter (protects the brain) and grey matter (responsible for
covering cerebral regions). However, the grey matter cells still need to be
connected in order to activate the full function of the brain. There are a
number of different areas of the brain that will connect during the early
childhood period of rapid growth. Using your understanding of brain development
and Piaget’s pre-operative stage of cognitive development, respond to the
following scenario.
Early
Childhood Interventions
You
work as an early childhood specialist with an at-risk population of children
through Head Start. One of your job functions is to assess children for
possible developmental learning delays. To do this, you have to understand how
poor nutrition, exposure to infectious diseases, and lack of parental knowledge
related to accessing services could interfere with the cognitive development of
young children.
Using
your knowledge of basic brain development and Piagetian theory, respond to the
following questions.
What developmental problems do you expect children in
your Head Start program to have because of living in a lower
socio-economic neighborhood? Explain your response using support from the
readings.According to Piaget, children ages two to seven are in
the pre- operative stage of development. Using the scenario above, explain
the importance of make-believe play and its uses in working with children.
Create a plan for using play with three-year-old clients that would allow
you to assess cognitive development.Discussion

Because
young children’s cognitive systems are still immature, particularly their
prefrontal cortex (center of planning and logic), they tend to express emotions
as soon as they are felt. Their limbic systems (activates emotions) develop
earlier in life than parts of the cerebral cortex, so one of their important
tasks is learning to identify and appropriately express emotions. Socializing
becomes more important, and they further develop their sense of self through
these interactions. Keep this in mind as you respond to the following
questions.
Research child-raising practices of the culture of your
choice and predict their psychosocial development (Erikson’s theory) based
on your research. Be sure to support your ideas using specific information
from the initiative vs. guilt stage of development. Using the same research that you collected for the
first question, develop a plan to help parents (of your chosen culture)
teach their young children appropriate ways to express their aggression.
Use your understanding of social learning theory to create your plan. 506 unit 4 Discussion.docx

In this unit’s discussions, we will work
to integrate developmental theory to practice by exploring typical adolescent
development and the issues faced by them.
Discussion 1 of 2 at
least 350 words
Prior to adolescence, children at the end
of their middle childhood usually feel confident about their abilities to
control their bodies. They have mastered walking, running, skipping, and toilet
training. As this confidence grows, pre-adolescents prior to experiencing growth
spurts report feeling satisfied with their body images. Once puberty begins,
many adolescents report feeling awkward and even betrayed by their bodies.
Suddenly, new sensations and physical challenges are present as their bodies
act and grow without warning.
Using your understanding of developmental
theories, respond to the following questions.
During
puberty, biological changes transform the adolescent body and mind. Using
your understanding of Erikson’s psychosocial development theory, predict
some of the identity problems that adolescents might have as a result of
these changes.Using
Piaget’s cognitive development theory, explain the changes in adolescent
thinking from middle childhood. How would this affect their problem
solving strategies and predictions of consequences?Invent some
ways to use imaginary audience and personal fable as clinical or
educational interventions. How can these two types of irrational beliefs
be used to help change the adolescent’s world perspective? Discussion 2 of 2 at
least 350 words
Read the scenario below and use your
understanding of adolescent social, cultural, and cognitive development to
respond to the questions. Try to evaluate the main problem in the scenario and
then use any of the theories or concepts from your reading to support your
response.
Scenario: Manny
You work as a psychologist in a substance
abuse agency and treat adolescents who are alcoholics. Your new client, Manny,
is a fourteen-year- old, Hispanic male who lives with his grandmother in a
two-room apartment in a poor section of the city. He is physically small for
his age and seems to struggle with academic skills (he is functionally
illiterate according to the intake assessor). When asked why he drinks, he
simply looks at his shoes and shrugs. In fact, he really does not provide much
information about anything, which you know is typical of most adolescents. You
have noticed that he does become animated when you ask about his grandmother,
music, and cars. He was arrested for public drunkenness and assigned to your
outpatient treatment program as part of his rehabilitation.
In this session, he finally tells you
more about himself and his troubles. He tells you that he has not attended his
classes at the high school (he is a freshman) in over two weeks. Now, he is
afraid to return, because he thinks that he will be in trouble and that they
may not allow him to return. He says that he realizes that getting an education
will help him to leave his neighborhood someday for a better life. He wants to
know what to do.
Given what
you know about adolescent development, assess Manny’s main problems.
Predict which of the problems might worsen without proper intervention and
support your ideas using the concepts/theories from our readings.Create a
short dialogue of what you would say to Manny to help him to identify his
real problem. Then, guide him towards understanding what the real problem
for him is, focusing on how his biological development might be
interfering with his social development

1) Evidence of Intelligence [1 of 2] ( 350 word )
Pick someone well-known whom you believe
to be “intelligent.” Everyone has to pick someone different, so first come,
first served!
But, be careful. You will also discuss in
detail, using scholarly/academic resources to support your observations, why
exactly you believe this person to be intelligent. What did he or she display
that has been empirically linked to intelligence? What kinds of evidence would
you provide for your argument that this individual is intelligent? Be sure to
include references and specifics regarding your observations.
2) Cognitive Functioning [2 of 2] ( 350 words)
In your specialty area, imagine that you
received a referral from a colleague for a psychological assessment
concentrating on cognitive functioning.
Create a referral question, for example,
“Please assess this individual in terms of his/her ability to participate in
and benefit from an inpatient substance abuse rehabilitation program.”
Pick the appropriate instrument for a
specific client among the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV (WAIS-IV), the
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children IV (WISC-IV), or the Wechsler
Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-III (WPPSI-III).
Describe the client’s demographics, for
example, “38-year-old divorced female…”
Employing the correct instrument for the
client and the referral question, briefly review each of the subscales in terms
of:
1. What are they believed to measure?
2. How, specifically, would each score
contribute information that would answer the referral question?
