Psychology Homework

You will be creating three activities that address cognitive development in the age groups assigned. These will become part of the infant room, early childhood room, and adolescent room of your center.
Using Piaget's, Vygotsy's, and/or Information processing theories of cognitive development, you will continue to build your Community Center Proposal by identifying activities for the assigned rooms that promotes cognitive development for children and adolescents. The activity must be focused on the cognitive milestones of the age group and must be clearly tied to specific theory. You must use at least one credible source. Your activities might be focused on object permanence for infants, conservation, egocentrism, or conservation for early childhood, or deductive reasoning for adolescence. Table 7.1 in your textbook will be useful in completing this activity.
