Assignment: Integrating the Field of Developmental Psychology: A Review of the Literature
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the age group / developmental stage you selected in Week Two of the course. Remember, you must use this age group / developmental stage.
You will then review the Developmental Psychology literature examining findings for that age group / developmental stage in terms of the physical, emotional, cognitive, social dimensions, and how they impact development and can best be used to meet developmental needs. Additionally, create a summary of the developmental stage as viewed through the lens of one developmental theory we have studied across the course (Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, Freud's Psychosexual Theory, Erickson's Psychosocial Theory, etc.).
