(Jarren you need to do paragraph 1, paragraph 6, the cover page, and revise and edit paragraph 2)

REMEMBER TO READ THE WHOLE THING SO YOU CAN MAKE IT SOUND MORE LIKE YOU AND NOT ME. REVISE IT, THIS IS JUST A BOOST FOR YOU!! (ALSO CHECK FOR PLAGIARISM JUST IN CASE). ;)

Well I was searching for a good topic to write about, so I typed into google “good psychology topics for a paper.” Then I clicked on the first url and the website pulled up, then I just kept on scrolling until I found a topic that I would like to give. I used the internet, and personal thought/ judgement. I chose the topic person perception. The three main subjects in this topic that I’ll be covering are as followed; Childhood Development (includes many steps, so I am going to count this as the first two main subjects), and Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development. JARREN IN COBURN’S DESCRIPTION SHE SAYS THAT YOU NEED THREE PARAGRAPHS.. WHICH MEANS THREE DIFFERENT IDEAS OR MAIN SUBJECTS. I SUGGEST THAT FOR YOUR THIRD SUBJECT YOU ADD PIAGET’S THEORY IN.

Childhood Development. Early childhood is a very critical moment in a child's’ development. It consists of physical, cognitive, and social/ emotional development. I am going to start with explaining the physical portion. As an infant grows, they’re learning how to crawl, walk, and learn critical abilities. They’re nervous system is actually becoming more in a mature state as these things begin to happen. This is known as the motor skill development. There are a couple different types of motor skills: large motor skills, and small motor skills. The large motor skill is the larger limbs and muscles. “Actions requiring large motor skill include walking, running, balance, and coordination.” The sm...

..., multi-word sentences that have a subject and predicate.”

Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development. This has three levels and six stages. WHILE YOU ARE EDITING THIS ONE, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO ADD A LITTLE BIT ON JEAN PIAGET’S THEORY!! ANOTHER GREAT THING TO THINK ABOUT ADDING HERE IS THE HEINZ DILEMMA, BUT ITS UP TO YOU!! Level one, Preconventional Morality. Stage one, Obedience and Punishment. Stage two, Individualism and Exchange. Level two, Conventional Morality. Stage three, Interpersonal Relationships. Stage Four, Maintaining Social Order. Level three, Postconventional Morality. Stage five, Social Contract and Individual Rights. Stage six, Universal Principles.

    My paper is based on an article from the text’s web site (chapter 9) entitled “Lack of sleep ages body’s systems.” The basic claim of the article is that sleep deprivation has various harmful effects on the body. The reported effects include decreased ability to metabolize glucose (similar to what occurs in diabetes) and increased levels of cortisol (a stress hormone involved in memory and regulation of blood sugar levels). The article also briefly alludes (in the quote at the bottom of page 1) to unspecified changes in brain and immune functioning with sleep deprivation.

  • Physical And Physical Development Essay

    A newborn child’s physical and motor development is an evident progression throughout their first years and later in life. A child’s motor development is more of a slower progress, from going to gross motor skills to more fine motor skills in a few months while physical development is an apparent process. The environment affects children in their physical and motor growth, as they learn and adapt to new stimuli everyday as they develop. Separately, these developments start at different times, but function hand in hand as a child grows. Physical development is apparent at conception, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence; while motor development

    What is moral development? In a nutshell, it’s the progression of morality throughout one’s lifetime by means of different stages. There are six of these stages, developed by Lawrence Kohlberg, that help to explain our moral choices and cognitive skills relative to our approximate age. Furthermore, as Kohlberg suggests, everyone reaches stages one through four: Punishment and Obedience, Instrumental Purpose and Exchange, Interpersonal Expectations and Conformity, and Law and order, respectively. Stage1 is characterized by the threat of punishment and the promise of reward. Stage 2 actions are

  • Child Development Stages

    1231 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first type of development that can be observed is physical development. Physical development refers to a child's gross and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are the use of large groups of muscles that can develop naturally through outdoor and indoor play. During play, a child may use their gross motor skills by standing, jumping, climbing, running or riding a bike. "If children are encouraged to be physically active, these skills can develop into advanced patterns of motor coordination that can last a lifetime" (brightfutures.org). Fine motor skills are the use of the muscles in the hands. These muscles can develop by using fingers to cut with scissors, write, paint and many other activities. Underdeveloped muscles, weight gain, and high blood pressure are all signs o...

    Psychology is the investigation of the mind and how it processes and directs our thoughts, actions and conceptions. However, in 1879 Wilhelm Wundt opened the first psychology laboratory at the University of Leipzig in Germany. Nevertheless, the origins of psychology go all the way back thousands of years starting with the early Greeks. This foundation is closely connected to biology and philosophy; and especially the subfields of physiology which is the study of the roles of living things and epistemology, which is the study of comprehension and how we understand what we have learned. The connection to physiology and epistemology is often viewed as psychology, which is the hybrid offspring of those two fields of investigation.

    In early childhood as in infancy, the body and brain develop according to powerful epigenetic forces, biologically driven as well as socially guided, experience-expectant and experience- dependent. Growing patterns in children change dramatically over time. During early childhood, children become slimmer as the lower body lengthens and baby fat turns to muscle. The body mass index also knows as the BMI is lower at age 5 than at any other age in the entire life span (Guillaume & Lissau 2002) BMI, the ratio of weight to height. Gone are the protruding belly, round face, short limb, and large head that characterize the toddler. The center of gravity moves from the breastbone to the belly button, enabling cartwheel, summersaults, balancing acts,

  • Human Development: Gross and Fine Motor Skills

    1259 Words  | 3 Pages

    Development begins in the womb. The fetus develops organs and grows many times its size during this time. Once the child is born it is even more important that the environment helps with normal infant physical and mental growth. At birth, infant senses function through eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. Through these senses they explore their world and sensations occur. Perception occurs when the brain processes these sensations. Infant movements are involuntary (reflexes). Reflexes help the infant survive until they gain control of their body and can make movement for themselves. Infants experience the majority of their growth during the first year. During this time gross and fine motor skills develop. Understanding what these terms mean are very important and a key to your child's successful progression.

    Adults and teachers need to do everything possible to keep physical development from being delayed. Adults can provide children with opportunities to help them in development. By the age of three a child's brain is three quarters of its adult size. From infancy to the age of two development is very rapid (Santrock, 1996). For this reason it is essential for the child to be able to explore their world around them.

  • Physical and Motor Development

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    Physical and motor development are two similar but different areas that describe child development. Physical development encompasses all of the various changes a child's body goes through. Those changes include height, weight, and brain development. Motor development is the development of control over the body. This control would involve developing reflexes such as blinking, large motor skills like walking, and fine motor skills like manipulating their fingers to pick up small objects like Cheerios. It is important to objectively study physical and motor development in children to gain knowledge on what characteristics are considered typical for each age and stage of development. This will enable me to be aware of when a child or children are developing at an irregular pace, and devise recommendations or find experiences and other resources that can aid in stimulating their development and to work towards closing achievement gaps. This particular assignment was to observe the selected child and reaffirm the importance of studying physical and motor development, and to develop ideas on how to involve it in my work as an early childhood professional.

    From preschool into early elementary school, children have begun to develop their gross motor skills. They have developed a “mature pattern of walking” and are ready to test their physical abilities to the limits. Also fine motor skills have begun to develop, however more slowly. Along with motor skills children are developing their visual, tactile, and kinesthetic senses. A child’s sensory skills are helpful in learning language.

  • Physical Development Essay

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    During this stage of development, children continue to develop gross motor skills but most of the development is with their fine motor skills. During this stage children are beginning to learn how to color, use scissors, write, and possibly tie their own shoes. Children will develop hand eye coordination as well as the ability to manipulate objects to accomplish what they want. My development was especially slow in this area. I did not begin to write legible words until I was five almost six years old. I still to this day, cannot cut a straight line and I could not color in the lines until I was about ten years old. I have always struggled with hand eye coordination and anything requiring the ability to manipulate a small object.
