Content Review

Directions:

  • Respond to each item. Each response should be concise and between two and three paragraphs in length.
  • Use MS Word to write your responses, and submit your answers to all three questions in one Word document.
  • Copy and paste each question within the document, so that your instructor can see which question you are responding to.
  1. Language development generally takes place in stages. Review page 186 of your course text, which discusses the evolution of oral language in young children, and then explain the differences between cooing, babbling, receptive language, and expressive language. Based on the social interaction theories described on pages 196–197 of your course text, summarize the role of important adults in a young child’s language development.
  2. As stated in your course text, both a child’s temperament and his or her “goodness of fit” can influence early development. Review “The Structure of Temperament” section on pages 214–215 in the text. In your own words, define goodness of fit. Then reflect on your own childhood. Use the information in this section to help you describe your temperament as a young child and whether you experienced goodness of fit with any one person or situation in your early life. As part of your answer, either explain why you believe you experienced goodness of fit, or explain what would have promoted greater goodness of fit with a key person or situation.
  3. Developmental growth can be driven by both environmental influences and maturation—changes brought about “largely through the unfolding of a person’s genetic code” (Martin & Fabes, 2009, p. 5). Based on the Learning Resources for this week, provide an example of developmental growth that typically occurs between birth and age 2 in each of the domains—physical, cognitive, and social and emotional. Then, briefly explain how environmental influences and/or maturation may contribute to each of these developmental changes.
