Psychology Assignment 1

Task

First, you will select one of the major early developmental stages: infancy/toddlerhood (0-3 years), early childhood (3-6 years), middle childhood (7-12 years), or 
adolescence (12-18 years). You will then explain the developmental stage in terms of major developmental milestones.

Next, you will describe your significant event in developmental context by explaining what happened and any impacts on your development during this time.

Then, you will define and apply two major concepts of development (1: 
nature and nurture, 2: continuity and discontinuity) to your significant event.

Finally, you will define and apply one major theory of development (Erikson’s theory, Piaget’s theory, Vygotsky’s theory, information processing theory, 
attachment theory, behavioral theory, 
observational learning theory) to your significant event.

Please use this chart to help you organize your capstone:

Part

Description

Top Tips for Success

Part I. Developmental Stage

Reflect on your development thus far. What stage of your development is most interesting to you?

· Infancy/Toddlerhood (0-3 years)

· Early Childhood (3-6 years)

· Middle Childhood (7-12 years)

·
Adolescence (12-18 years)

Choose ONE stage to focus on for this capstone.

First, create a header for this section (e.g., Developmental Stage).

Then, in one paragraph:

Articulate your selected developmental stage using a strong topic sentence. Then, in 3-4 sentences that follow, explain the major developmental milestones (i.e., biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social milestones) that occur during your selected stage.

Be specific in this paragraph—make sure to be very clear when articulating and explaining your chosen developmental stage.

Define and give concrete examples of each type of milestone (biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social).

Part 2. Significant Event

Think about your own experiences during your chosen developmental period (see Part 1).

What memorable events occurred during this time?

Select ONE significant event during this developmental period.

First, create a header for this section (e.g., Significant Event).

Then, in one or two paragraphs:

Explain the significant event in detail. What happened? Tell the story of the event in 3-4 sentences. Then, in another 3-4 sentences, explain why this event was important to your own development during this time by answering the question, What impact(s) did it have on your biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and/or social growth?

This part of the capstone asks you to do two things. Be sure to fully explain the event AND discuss how it impacted several parts of your development during this time.

Be sure that the effects you discuss make sense in the context of your chosen developmental stage.

Part 3. Major Concepts in Development

Consider two major concepts in development:

·
Nature and Nurture

· Continuity and Discontinuity

What do these concepts mean? How are these concepts illustrated in your significant event and/or its important effects on your development?

First, create a header for this section (e.g., Major Concepts in Development).

Then, in one or two paragraphs:

Define both major concepts as they pertain to developmental psychology. After defining each, discuss how each concept is illustrated in the event you described and/or the effects of this event on your development.

The definition of each major concept AND discussion of how it is illustrated in your significant event will require at least 3-4 sentences.

You may wish to write one paragraph of 3-4 sentences for EACH major concept.

Part 4. Developmental 

Theory

Think about the major theories of development you have learned about so far in this course:

Erikson’s theory, Piaget’s theory, Vygotsky’s theory, information processing theory, 
attachment theory, behavioral theory, and 
observational learning theory.

Which theory seems to have the most relevance for your developmental stage and the significant event you have discussed? Do any of the theories help you understand why this significant event was so important to your development?

First, create a header for this section (e.g., Developmental 
Theory).

Then, in one paragraph:

Describe the major ideas of your chosen theory in 3-4 sentences.

Then, in another 3-4 sentences, discuss how this theory (and its major ideas) relates to your significant event. Be specific in your discussion.

Like Part 3, remember that Part 4 requires you to define AND discuss a theory.

Your theory definition will be academic and will rely on textbook content. Your discussion of how the theory applies to your experience will require your own creative thinking.
