My nephew Adam is six years old. He spends most of his day either at school or at the daycare center. Adam live in an apartment with his parents and with his two siblings. I made the observation at home in the presence of both his parents and siblings. The observation took me roughly an hour. As I observed Adam’s behaviors, I will be going to discuss about his, social-emotional behavior, cognitive development, and physical development in this essay. Before I made the observation, I asked for the permission and I gain the consent of Adam’s parents. I made the observation on Sunday. Fortunately, Adam stayed at home during the observation. When I get to the house, Adam was watching, kids’ television show called “The Wild Kratts” on PBS. The Wild Kratts is a kid’s show, that helps kids understand and learn more about animals. Adam was interacting with his siblings while watching the television. He was naming the different kinds of animal when he sees it on the television. Throughout, the show Adam was helping his little sister learn the names of the animals, as he sees it on the television. When he sees a new animal, he constantly repeats the name. This action can be a characteristic of utilizing the working memory, “The ability to hold information in our minds for a brief time” (McDermott, 2010). Repeating the name helps him to store the information and retain it in a short term, but as he practices more, it helps him to remember it later. In addition, during the observation

Despite his early academic struggles, by the time the third grade school year ended school Alton had made tremendous progress. Medina recalled Alton has “an average kid in school and stated, he wasn’t a scholar, but he did his work and he liked going to school.” Complimentary comments from his teachers about his hard work and improved effort are reflective of the satisfactory grades he then began to receive. In contrast, the progress notes also foreshadowed an area of Alton’s that he still continues to struggle with. Concern surrounding his socialization skills, his teachers highlighted an area that he needed to improve on.

One way Phineas’ behavior is different compared to an adolescent’s is that Phineas’ behavior changed suddenly, unlike an adolescent’s, which is still developing. After Phineas’ accident, Fleischman added more details as to how he acted, such as the fact that the “new Phineas is unreliable...downright nasty” (Horrible Accident in Vermont, 32). This piece of evidence proves my reason and claims to be true because it tells us what Phineas’ behavior was like and how an adolescent’s behavior is not completely alike compared to

Jean Piaget, a psychologist, developed a theory called cognitive development. In the theory, Piaget proposes that every child goes through four stages as he develops and during every stage, the child uses cognitive development aspects to understand the world around him (Licht, Hull & Ballantyne, 2017). The movie Parenthood applies the Piaget’s theory to its characters. This paper will analyze Justin being in the preoperational stage, using assimilation and Todd being in the formal operational stage. Preoperational Stage

Genie lacks the necessary agents of socialization affecting her cognitive development. Family is the primary factor of socialization which can help a developing child learn how to function in society. Extreme isolation and punishment by her father, impaired Genie’s ability to learn and master basic skills. In addition, Genie did not attend school and barely left the house preventing her from experiencing secondary socialization and peer groups.

The three descriptive research methods that I will discuss are Naturalistic Observation, Survey, and Case Study. Naturalistic Observation is a research method in which people or animals are observed in their natural habitat without any controls or variables. This type of research method may be conducted if you want to see how people truly act without being watched. For example, this research method may be used to determine who are healthier shoppers, men or women? The researcher would go to a food store and take count throughout the day of how many men and women he finds in the fruit and vegetable isles, and how many he find in the snack isles.

In the contemporary times, great importance is given to the significance of early years of a child’s life. It is widely acknowledged now-a-days that the early childhood years are a predominantly receptive phase in the developmental process. This stage is responsible to lay a foundation in early days and later years for cognitive functioning, learning process, physical wellbeing, and self-regulatory capacities in both personal and social lives. In simple words, “the period from birth to age 5 is one of opportunity and vulnerability for healthy physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development” (Karoly, Kilburn & Cannon, 2005). However, it is also a fact that many children go through several stressors during their developmental years due to which their healthy development may be impaired.

I did my observation after the children had a recess period and came inside for a snack and play time. While observing the male child it was obvious to see where he was in cognitive, moral, psychosocial, and physical development. In the first ten minute of observation, the children had just come back from recess to have a snack. The five year old male child proceeded to the sink and washed his hands.

Throughout this whole semester there has been many important concepts about the development of life and how we can analyze the growth of one’s mind after birth. Psychologists make these observations closely in order to have a better understanding of how individual’s mindsets process information. In the textbook “Life-Span Development, 15th Edition” by John W. Santrock, he elaborates on how the brain works in different stages of life. For each stage of life there are different components to how the brain and the human body function properly. In chapter five of the book it talks about the cognitive development in infancy and how through this stage infants are starting to explore.

Throughout the year we have learned about many different theorists who have done a great but also horrible job at explaining adolescent/ young adult development. In this paper I will be talking about Freud and Piaget, and how I think that Piaget was the better theorist than Freud when it comes to talking about development. I will also be talking about the similarities and difference between the two. For starters, what are their specific steps of development? Jean Piaget used observations of his own children to develop the four stages that we know he created today.
