Assignment: approaches to life span.

Assignment: approaches to life span.

Permalink: https://nursingpaperslayers.com/assignment-ident…ss-the-life-span/ ‎

You will develop a PowerPoint on life span development from infancy to late adulthood. You will address topics such as learning development theory and transitional periods of life. Create a minimum of 10 slides, not including title slide and references slide.

Use the following guidelines in constructing your PowerPoint:

Title slide
· Identify and describe at least 3 theoretical approaches related to development across the life span.

· Outline the basic tenets of your personal view of how learning is developed, based on developmental theories (e.g., Piaget, Erikson, Vygotsky, etc.).

Address the implications of considering diverse populations.
Outline common transition periods in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood (e.g., attachment, puberty, and other transitions of development at each period).
Cite your sources throughout your presentation using correct, current APA formatting.
References slide with correct, current APA formatting. Apply a biblical worldview to learning and transitions by integrating developmental theory and/or stages with specific, relevant Scripture.
Think back over your childhood. What informal, (outside of school), literacy and math experiences did you have while growing up? Based on what you’ve learned, how do you think those experiences contributed to your academic progress after you started school? Which concepts and/or strategies, from the lesson, did you use in school? Which strategy you could use now? How?

Cognitive Development (Information Processing Perspective) and Language Development
The topics for this week are information processing and language development. We will explore the information processing approach to cognitive development. Additionally, We will examine the theories of language development, along with pre-linguistic, phonological, semantic, grammatical, and pragmatic development. We will study the development of metalinguistic awareness and bilingualism.

Topics to be covered include:
Model for Information-Processing
Attributes of Attention and Memory Development and Their Effect on Cognition
Information Processing and Academic Learning
Case Studies Related to Information Processing
Stages of Language Development
General Model for Information Processing Perspective
Information-processing research seeks to understand how children develop the attention, memory, and self-management skills to succeed with complex tasks. Those who study this approach compare the human mind to a computer, or an intricate, symbol-manipulating system through which information flows.

THE STORE MODEL
Research that occurred in the late 1960s and early 1970s led to the adoption of a term known as the store model. This model assumes that we store information in three parts of a mental system for processing: the sensory register, the short-term memory store, and the long-term memory store. As information moves from one part to the next, individuals use strategies to retain and effectively utilize the information.

Imagine stepping into a room at a museum, looking around for a minute, and then closing your eyes. Your sensory register has just been activated. It took in a wide variety of new information; however, the majority of this information will be lost in just a moment. If you did not use a mental tactic to focus on a particular feature of the room, it is likely that what you saw will not move to the subsequent part of the mental system, the short term memory store.
