contact with all ages of individuals and if you 're lucky you could specialize in just one, like geriatrics. Learning about each age group is very important because you have to know what is considered normal findings and what is considered abnormal when dealing with a person 's health. And of course, each age groups would have different norms. The first group we are going to focus on is the newborn stage. This is a very interesting group because children at this age tend to learn daily and will go through
focus on much earlier stages of human development. Researchers in the education field have reached a consensus that reading is crucial in childhood by revealing supporting evidence from studies focused on children aged 0-6 years, 6-12, and young adolescents.

McLaughlin tried to clarify in his paper. MYTH 1: CHILDREN LEARN SECOND LANGUAGES QUICKLY AND EASILY One frequently hears this proposition in various forms. The argument is that children are superior to adults in learning second languages because their brains are more flexible (Lenneberg, 1967; Penfield & Roberts, 1959). They can learn languages easily because their cortex is more plastic than that of older learners. The evidence for the biological basis of the critical period has been challenged and the
a community’s culture. Information processing views the mind as a complex symbol manipulation system, much like a computer. This approach helps researchers understand exactly what children of different ages do when faced with tasks and problems. Information processing has led to teaching interventions that help children approach tasks in more advanced ways. The course of development 1.

OCD tends to worry about many different things. On average, one out of fifty adults currently suffer from this disorder, and twice that many have had it at some point in their lives. When worries, doubts, or superstitious beliefs become excessive then a diagnosis of OCD is made. With OCD it is thought that the brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and just can't let go.
