Psy 270 Original Research Question

Some documents that can be obtained include letters, articles, newspapers and clerical records. Archival documents that are acquired include census records, survey records and name lists. Several physical artifacts can be collected for example, tools and objects. Lastly participant observation involves the researcher actually participating and observing in the study (Yin, 1994; Stake, 1995).

To identify, a project idea based on my work and personal life will involve motivating my sister in having a healthier diet. By way of example, I will encourage her in eating more fruits and vegetables to strengthen her immune system and lower her blood pressure. Additionally, motivating her to a healthier eating habit will not only help her wellbeing but strength my abilities as a care provider. Considering that, her diet now consists of high sodium foods such as ramen noodles and fast food, she has been more restless and stressed. Henceforth, this project will build her health and offer her the opportunity to feel more energized, lower blood pressure, and even having more strength to practice walking with her leg braces versus her wheelchair.

The show I am reviewing is House MD, specifically episode 2 in Season 2. The two ways the doctors in House MD exemplify good doctor practices is through their observational skills and ability to collaborate. To give a quick overview, Dr. House is a diagnostician who is presented with a new case every episode. Initially, Dr. House and his team write all the symptoms that the patient presents with, and then they collaborate and discuss possible diagnoses. At first, they believe that the 9 year old patient has terminal cancer. However, the patient appears to be too complacent with the fact that she is going to die; this leads to Dr. House questioning if this bravery is actually a symptom. Because of his observational skills and inclination not to discount any possible symptoms, Dr. House discovers that the patient must have a clot caused by the surgery to remove the benign tumor in her heart. Through collaboration, Dr. House shows his skills of observation.

The proposed experiment would be a 2x2x5 factorial design with pre-testing that would be conducted to investigate each participant’s previous medical history and how it may affect their results. The experiment would use 120 adult participants who have been diagnosed with ADHD. For the purposes of the proposed experiment, an adult is an individual who is at least age 18 or older. There would be eleven groups with ten patients in each group, treated over a ten week period: a modafinil group with medication, modafinil group without medication, dexmethylphenidate group with CBT, dexmethylphenidate without CBT, methylphenidate group with CBT, methylphenidate group without CBT, an atomoxetine group with CBT, a CBT group, and a placebo-control group. The experiment will measure the reduction of ADHD symptoms in adults 18 years or older.

A study completed by the “University of California Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (M.I.N.D.) Institute… concluded that there was no evidence that a loosening in the diagnostic criteria has contributed to the increased number of autism clients served by the [California DDS] Regional Centers” (Gernsbacher et al., 2005, p. 56). This study was conducted on two different cohorts of individuals with autism. One group was born between 1985 and 1985, the other between 1993 and 1995. Both cohorts were interviewed with the same diagnostic criteria in mind. Unfortunately, that criteria wasn’t published until 1994 (Gernsbacher et al., 2005). This means that the older group who were diagnosed during the use of the stricter criteria would have fit into the new guidelines with plenty of room to spare, but because the new criteria was looser, the younger individuals may have been less effected by the disorder than the older group even though they all are classified as autistic. This study is therefore invalid because a broader criterion does result in a higher number of individuals

This unit is developmentally appropriate because it covers a topic that can help the development of the children’s physical, cognitive, social, fine motor, gross motor, and emotional skills. Children of this age group need as many opportunities to develop these skills and through our unit, they will get the chance to do so. The children in our group need opportunities to enhance their communication skills. Because of the language barriers in the classroom due to the different nationalities speech delay, and significant hearing loss, they will have opportunities to experience other cultural lifestyles and learn how to speak with people that cannot talk or hear. This unit reflects the needs of our children because the unit will have activities

The study included 61 preschool children with autism who were randomized to one of two groups; one receiving intervention

The first part of our presentation was done by Fnu Lily and she provided the background history, preschool teachers concerns, diagnosis, suggestions, support by preschool teachers,support from family, and suggestions. Lily included that he is the second child out of three, and that they leave with their extended family, great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Tim’s family was slowly beginning to notice that he was too energetic, had delays in communication, wasn’t able to express wants or needs, didn’t make eye contact, played alone, repetitive conversations, didn’t respond to teachers, and concentration issues. Tim didn’t like bird sounds or bus noises; there wasn’t too many noises he liked in general. In 2009, Tim and

I was able to participate in the Developmental Playgroup (DPG) on Thursday April 14, 2016. There were 12 children present; four girls and eight boys. There were three DPG staff members, one Family Consultant from the Early Head Start Program, one volunteer, and one student intern. One child out of the group of 12 children will be the focus. He is a two and a half year old boy and was observed by his mother in the observation booth. The family is enrolled in the Infant Parent Program. He has been receiving services since late August in 2015. His mother is working with the speech pathologist during most of the home visiting. She and her husband has concerns with the child’s social-emotional skills including relationship building, acquiring and

I have been working as a student teacher at Vanderbilt Susan Gray School, a preschool that serves typically developing and developmentally delayed children, for almost two semesters. As a student teacher, I have been instructing and supervising ten 1-to-2-year-old children in developmental and educational activities, including story telling and

There are many different childhood disabilities that range from physical disabilities to mental health disabilities. The most common disabilities recognized in childhood are autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, epilepsy, spina bifida, dyslexia, and depression (Scribner, 2014). Most of these disabilities recognized in childhood are lifelong disabilities that have a huge impact on the child’s learning and development. Between 2001 and 2011, the prevalence of childhood disability increased by 15.6%. While the percentage of physical disables

After reviewing Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7 and the required readings for week 5, I will write a summarization of the impact that developmental delays and the environment have on the learning needs of children. My 6-8 page paper will include three examples demonstrating the impact of developmental delays and the environment on the learning needs of children discussed in the week 2 written assignments. I will also discuss why is it important for educators to understand typical behaviors when planning curriculum and I will provide at least three examples in which I support my claim. I will also describe three specific components in a preschool
