For this assignment you will be “creating” a person. You will choose a gender and name your person. You will then discuss, in essay format, changes that your person will experience throughout the lifespan – from conception until death. For example, if the person you create is Jane, you might explain teratogens and discuss how specific teratogens were a danger to Jane while in the womb. You might move on to explain object permanence and discuss how Jane would experience it.
Choose at least 2 concepts from each stage of development (prenatal/infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood).
Examples of concepts include (but aren’t limited to):
- Prenatal Stages
- Teratogens
- Motor Development
- Object Permanence
- Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development
- Attachment
- Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development
- Egocentrism
- Cognitive Decline
- Marital Satisfaction
For each of the concepts you choose, you will need to:
- Write a 1-3 sentence summary that explains the concept (9 points).
- Write a 1-3 sentence summary that explains how your person would experience the concept (9 points)
