Unit 8 Assignment: Cognitive And Socioemotional Development

Some of the psychological effects are paranoia, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Some physical effects are rapid heartbeat, sleepiness, HIV, hepatitis from sharing needles, and respiratory problems. “Once you get started, it can be very hard to stop”. (Calabria et al., 2010, as cited in Cooner & Mitterer, 2016, p. 181). For example, I know someone that decided to try marijuana for the first time. What he did not know was the person had put cocaine in with it. After trying it that first time he did eventually become addicted to drugs and he even started doing heroin. Drugs affect three parts of the brain the cortex, limbic system, and the brain stem. Drug addiction affects the way the brain communicate and the way neurons send, receive, and process information. “Addictive drugs increase dopamine activity.” (Boyd, Harris, & Knight, 2012, as cited in Cooner & Mitterer, 2016, p.

Early identification of speech, language or communication delay is important for a child or young persons’ well-being. All practitioners have a responsibility to identify children’s needs and intervene with appropriate support as early as possible, to help children achieve the goals of ‘Every Child Matters’ and progress towards the Early Learning Goals. The importance of early language and communication skills for children’s later achievements is now well documented and the need to provide support for children at this early stage is so that they can achieve their full potential. This means recognising a child’s difficulty quickly:

In a general sense the theory of cognitive development is not just a single theory but a number of theories offered by a number of cognitive psychologists over the past century. In summary though, cognitive development is the processes by which learning is developed by the construction of thought processes, memory, solving problems, decision-making and covers the life span from childhood to adulthood, but learning does not necessarily stop with adulthood. This construction process is clinically known as “Constructivism”. In constructivism it is not the world, or society that is developing a child but it is the child that is taking in information and constructing themselves with the information that the

Give atleast 6 example for each age group in each development stage. The ages under each section are;

At this stage any activities will have an impact on their intellectual development as they become aware of the different activities they do.

When looking at and discussing a child’s development, you have to remember that all children are different and grow at different rates. Every child will follow the same sequence but they may not necessarily do it at the same time as each other. For example, you could have two, 6 month old babies, 1 could already be able to crawl, and the other 1 may not have mastered it yet and may not until they are a bit older. You must remember that your child is an individual and not group him with another child and expect him/her to reach the milestones at the same time. It is important also that a parent/carer, teacher etc., know the expected sequence a child follows, so they can tell if a child is falling way behind and they may need to intervene to help them along.

Purpose: To explain the social cognitive developmental framework to audiences of social, cognitive, developmental and clinical psychology. As well as give an in depth example of parenting praise, effects on children’s theories of achievement motivation and the implications of these frameworks.

John has lived a long life and currently lives with his wife, Mary, in Pennsylvania. John’s children are now grown and they too have children of their own. That being said, he has three grandchildren. He is currently only taking methadone as a treatment for his past drug addiction, but other than that he is not on any prescription drugs. John is quite healthy; however, he still struggles with his disability. His hip replacement is wearing and he may have to have another surgery, but because of his age it is a risk. Even though he lives with a disability, he does not require a nurse and can still walk around, though only with a cane. It is clear that John’s life has been quite eventful and he has faced several hardships along the way. However, good things have come into his life and he has lived, and currently still lives, a very happy life.

I was out of breath, and I still had the stairs to climb and a test was waiting for me on the chapters from the nights before. I sat down, breathing heavily, hands clammy. As I looked around, I saw my peers bubbling in answers on a slim green and white document called a scantron. I was only 14 years old, unprepared, burned out, and late to college class.

Social interaction plays an important role in people’s life starting from the early childhood as infants interact with their caregivers and build the emotional attachment that is the base for future relationships. By social interaction with others children learn how to communicate, play and behave in particular situation. Berk (2009) proposed the overview of the literature that concentrates upon the early attachment and its importance. Knowing the influence of social interaction on child development in the first few years, the essay is going to elaborate upon the implication of social interaction on the development of cognition. Cognitive development as Lee & Gupta (eds.) claimed is the term that refers to acquisition and development of

There are many different things that shape the cognitive development of children. To begin with cognitive development is when a child develops how to process, solve problems, and start making decisions. Once they have learned this they take everything they have learned into their adolescence. An example, of what can shape the cognitive development of a child can be an educational game. Educational games can be very useful in shaping a child’s development because they are having fun while learning at the same time and what kid doesn’t like to play games, the fact that it is even educational makes it even better for them. Not only are they having fun but there are many different games that help in different categories of development in

All adolescents will not sprout up and mature at the same time. Girls tend to develop quicker before boys. But as they begin to mature they are experiencing socioeconomic adversities where they are more prone to violence or become a part of violent activities. Socioeconomic development can also create definite learning obstacles and which can create learning barriers as well as support student learning and mask some developmental delays.
