Applying developmental theories to infant and toddler development-explain the theory and how it relates to infant and toddler development, and write a short scenario that exemplifies the theory
In this Discussion, you will apply developmental theories to infant and toddler development.
Select one of the following theories from your Reading, explain the theory and how it relates to infant and toddler development, and write a short scenario that exemplifies the theory. Practice using your understanding of infant/toddler developmental theories in your responses to your classmates and pretend that you are a therapist assigned to work with the client in each scenario.
Theories used in the sample: non organic failure to thrive, separation anxiety, language development issues
Sample scenario: Tom
Tom is a 2-year-old male whose parents work many hours during the week. While his parents work during the week, he stays with his grandmother, who has difficulty keeping up with him throughout the day. She spends much of her time ignoring him by watching television instead of playing with him. When Tom’s parents brought him to you, he seemed to be very small for a child his age and showed some severe developmental delays. He did not speak many words and did not seem to be putting together sentences yet. His parents brought him to you because he screams and yells every morning when his mother leaves him at his grandmother’s house.
Self-Management-When individuals start experiencing a "crisis of meaning" at work, how does this impact their productivity as well as the overall company? When workers have a shared sense of passion, how does this impact the work environment?
Complete with a minimum of 300 words, including at least one reference from: Thomas, K. (2009). Intrinsic Motivation at Work: What Really Drives Employee Engagement Edition. 2nd
Self-Management
When individuals start experiencing a “crisis of meaning” at work, how does this impact their productivity as well as the overall company? When workers have a shared sense of passion, how does this impact the work environment?
When managers allow employees to self-manage, what are at least three positive effects of intrinsic rewards? How have you witnessed one of these within your organization?
Briefly explain the two steps involved in the diagnostic framework. How do you see this framework being effective in your place of work?
Visual Searches-explore how people engage in visual searches and what features of a stimulus make a search easier
Need this within 3 hours
Assignment 1: Discussion—Visual Searches
In this assignment, you will further explore how people engage in visual searches and what features of a stimulus make a search easier.
Think of a time when you had to locate someone in a crowd, such as a participant in a parade, a friend in a packed theater, or a runner in a marathon. Based on your experience, respond to the following:
- Were you successful in locating the person? What strategy did you use?
- Did your search make use of the pop-out effect? How? If not, how might using the pop-out effect have resulted in a successful or quick search?
- Did you conduct a conjunctive search? If yes, how did the number of distracters and features affect your search?
- Using the principles you have read about in this module, how would you make the material in a long e-mail stand out in order to ensure that the reader notices it?
Visual searches are also very important in warnings. Warnings need to stand out from their background. The warning must first be noticed, then read and understood. For example, a stick figure could be performing an ambiguous action and have an “X” through it. You, therefore, understand that while you are not supposed to perform some action, you do not understand what that action actually is.
Give two examples of a poor warning. Did you understand them? Why did you have difficulties with them? What features could be modified to make the warnings more effective?

What elements of this scenario make it an example of prejudice?
Consider these examples from a typical, large suburban high school.
- Kelly is a sophomore who attends a meeting of the all-male robotics club. She says she has an interest in joining the club and working on building a robot for an upcoming competition. The male members of the club snicker at her and one boy puts his foot out and “accidently” trips Kelly in the aisle. The male teacher in the room tells the boys to settle down, but he also tells Kelly that he isn’t sure she would have the necessary skills for the club, since the other members have all had several years experience building robots. “After all,” he said, “you were probably playing with dolls for all the years these boys were building things and experimenting with electronics.”
- John is an artistic, intelligent boy who is not interested in sports or other “typical” male pursuits. He enjoys writing fiction and poetry for the school newspaper. When he gets on the school bus no one will share a seat with him. He ends up standing and a group of students in the back of the bus harass and heckle him, calling him homophobic slurs.
- In the teachers’ lounge, a group of Caucasian teachers huddle around the water cooler gossiping about why one of their fellow teachers, an Asian-American woman, was promoted to assistant principle over other teachers with more years of experience. “I know she has a master’s degree, but I still think this is clearly an affirmative action thing—they just want to get more minorities in administration. They don’t care about who is really qualified, and that’s all there is to it.”
Select one of the examples above that you feel illustrates prejudiced attitudes. Answer the following:
- What elements of this scenario make it an example of prejudice?
- Is there also discrimination present?
- Is there stereotyping in this example?
- Explain why the predjudice is occurring using the following terms: Social categorization, in-group, out-group, and ingroup-bias.
- Based on your readings, what type of intervention could help to reduce prejudice in a situation like this?
Please be sure you address each question, using terms and concepts from your text. A good initial discussion response should be at least 150–250 words in length.
A Day in Your Brain-Outline your typical day, from the time you wake up, until you go to sleep.
As people go about their day and encounter different situations and experiences, they use various cognitive processes. People often do not recognize that they are using cognitive skills, and do not understand how their brain functioning contributes to their daily life experience. This assignment provides insight into the cognitive processes that your brain goes through on a daily basis.
Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to showcase “A Day in Your Brain.” Include the following:
- Outline your typical day, from the time you wake up, until you go to sleep.
- Identify 8 to 10 situations throughout the day when the following cognitive processes occur:
- Perception
- Attention
- Memory
- Language
- Reasoning
- Decision making
- Problem solving
- Explain how the cognitive processes are used in the situation, and how they help you to adapt in your environment.
Include detailed speaker notes on each slide to use as a transcript of what you would say while presenting.
Include a minimum of two sources to support your ideas.
Format any citations within your presentation according to APA guidelines
CHANGING BEHAVIOR-Identify a habit or behavior that you would like to change , either by decreasing it or increasing it.
PAPER ASSIGNMENT
CHANGING BEHAVIOR
Behavioral psychologists have repeatedly demonstrated that most people can modify their
own behavior through the application of operant principles. The text authors delineate
some of the mechanisms involved in self control, such as self reinforcement and stimulus
control. The following exercise, outlines steps (suggested by Anthony Grasha), that will
allow you to experience directly the often, powerful effects of behavior change and
modification. You will be designing a program for yourself in order to change a behavior
that you would like to either increase, decrease or eliminate entirely.
1.
Identify a habit or behavior that you would like to
change
, either by decreasing it or
increasing it.
It could be a habit you want to eliminate like smoking, or a behavior
you want to increase, like studying more. Set a very specific goal to change that is
observable and measurable
.
a.
Don’t say “I want to get more exercise”; it’s too vague. You will need to
operationally define
“more exercise” and set a goal that is measurable and
observable; such as: “ I need to start jogging one mile every day”.
b.
Don’t say: “ I need to lose weight”; say “ I need to lose 10 pounds in 8 weeks.
c.
” Don’t say: “I need to cut back on my smoking”, say: “ I need to cut my
cigarette smoking from one pack a day to half a pack a day for three
consecutive months”;
d.
Don’t say: “I need to spend more time studying”, state “ I need to study at
least 1 hour a day, 5 times a week”.
2.
Measure your Baseline
– How often do you currently engage in the behavior or habit
you want to change? In other words, if you are trying to cut back or quit smoking
how many cigarettes are you smoking per day now, before you start on a change
program?
3.
Analyze your “triggers”
or environments that make your habitual behavior more
likely to occur
.
In other words:
a.
What
settings, people, or times of day or week trigger or stimulate your bad
habit or behavior to occur? (e.g. smoking, eating or drinking too much);
Or,
b.
What setting, people or times of day or week tend to prevent you from
engaging in the behavior or habit you want to increase? (e.g. studying or
exercising more).
c.
Also look if you have paired or associated two stimuli (e.g. the smell of coffee
triggers your cigarette craving).
4.
After analyzing these triggers, describe how you would avoid them or change them.
In other words, how would you control your environment so as to optimize your
success? How will you gain control over the settings that either trigger the bad
habits or prevent you from building good habits. Some people may smoke while
drinking coffee, so giving up coffee may help in changing the target behavior.
5.
Identify how you could use
classical conditioning
to change your behavior (eg. Pair a
noxious stimulus with a bad habit, or a pleasant sound or smell with a good habit
you want to build).
6.
Identify
operant conditioning
techniques such as:

Identify
operant conditioning
techniques such as:
a.
positive reinforcers or rewards for yourself (e.g. reading a favorite magazine,
telephoning a friend, taking a hot bath)
b.
Identify any possible negative reinforcers, such as avoiding something
unpleasant (eg. Avoiding a bad grade or health problems). Select one or
more rewards that are likely to influence the behavior you want to change
and will motivate you.
c.
Can you think of any
mild
aversives or punishment for yourself?
7.
Identify how you would use
observational learning or modeling
to change your
behavior:
a.
What models can you select that you can observe, learn from or imitate to
some degree?
b.
Describe the kind of social support you would enlist. Modifying behavior can
be difficult and so it often helps to have a support group or someone to talk
to who can keep you honest and committed to your plan and possibly
motivate you and help you meet your goals. For example, if you are starting a
new workout plan have a friend join you if possible or find a workout
partner.
8.
Evaluate your results:
a.
Describe how you will monitor and record your progress toward changing
the behavior. Draw a chart that demonstrates what you will be recording.
b.
For a short time, try your proposed plan on yourself to test it. Of all the
possible techniques you have described in your plan which one do you think
will be most effective?
c.
Describe any success or failure. What would you attribute them to and how
would you change the plan for the future?
