You will assume that you are a developmental psychologist who is applying for grant funding to study development in children who have autism. Instructions: For each of the following three research methodologies, explain how you would use it to differentiate development in children who have autism from “normally” developing children. For each method, you must identify a behavior to measure (e.g., screaming, smiling, making eye contact), but the behavior can be the same for each investigative methodology, if you wish. Please identify each question, and then answer each question in paragraph style, supporting your answers with reasons or examples (e.g., dont use one-word answers). Your paper should be at least two pages typed (double-spaced), or three pages hand-written. 1. Scientific observation (natural or laboratory setting) Explain the age group you are measuring and identify the setting where you will be making your observation. What behavior or developmental trait will you be measuring? What are the positive uses/outcomes and the drawbacks of the observational method of data collection in measuring the developmental trait you identified? What developmental theory do you think is tested in the approach you identified? 2. Surveys (questionnaire or interview) Explain the age group, behavior or developmental trait, or atypical characteristic about which you want to gather data. Then explain what group to which you would give your survey or interview and why. Generally, what types of questions would you ask? What are the advantages/disadvantages of giving a survey to find out about behavior in autistic children? What developmental theory do you think is tested in the approach you identified? 3. Experiment Explain the age group, behavior or developmental trait, or atypical characteristic about which you want to gather data. What might be your particular treatment or condition to which you would expose your experimental participants (i.e., your independent variable)? Explain why you would do this and what differences you might expect to find between the two groups; the autistic group and the “normal” control group. What developmental theory do you think is tested in the approach you identified? A) Using The Scientific Method to write the essay: 1. Begin with curiosity. On the basis of theory, prior research, or a personal observation, pose a question. 2. Develop a hypothesis. Shape the question into a hypothesis, a specific prediction to be examined. 3. Test the hypothesis. Design and conduct research to gather empirical evidence (data). 4. Analyze the evidence gathered in the research. Conclude whether the hypothesis is supported or not. 5. Report the results. Share the data, conclusions, and alternative explanations.
