Prior to completing this assignment, read Chapters 7 and 8 in the textbook. Arnet, J. J., & Jensen, L. A. (2019). Human development: A cultural approach (3rd ed.) Pearson.
Also review the reading from the chapter that covers the age group you have selected (review previous weekâs reading or read ahead if you have chosen one of the adult life stages). This week, you will begin preliminary work on your final assignment in the course, Integrating the Field of Developmental Psychology: A Review of the Literature, which is due in Week 6. To begin, select an age group or developmental stage from the list below:
Infancy and toddlerhood (0â3 years)
Childhood (3â12 years)
Adolescence (13â18 years)
Young adulthood (18â40 years) – I PICKED THIS STAGE
Middleâlate adulthood (40 years and older)
In your paper:
Clearly identify the age group and developmental stage selected.
Describe the important physical, emotional, cognitive, and social features of that age group.
Analyze that developmental stage from the point of view of at least three developmental theorists (e.g., but not limited to the viewpoints of Piaget, Freud, Erickson, etc.).
Summarize the theory you find most useful to explain that developmental stage.
In writing your paper, support your selections and conclusions with reasoned arguments. A minimum of three peer-reviewed articles are required for this paper.
