The Moderate-Discrepancy Hypothesis
APA FORMAT
Research in the area of perceptual development has led to the formulation of the moderate-discrepancy hypothesis. Provide an analysis of this hypothesis using your course text and at least two additional scholarly sources. (One may be the article "The Goldilocks Effect: Infants' Preference for Stimuli That are Neither Too Predictable nor Too Surprising" supplied in the recommended readings).
In a two- paper or 650 words include the following components:
- Define the moderate-discrepancy hypothesis.
- Identify and describe the types of educational materials the moderate-discrepancy hypothesis predicts are most likely to hold children's attention.
- Discuss whether or not this prediction is consistent with the type of instruction that research in the sociocultural tradition has shown to be most effective.
