This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

Your group will be assigned a developmental period – prenatal development, infancy and childhood, adolescences and emerging adulthood, early, middle, and late adulthood. Your group will then create a 10-12-slide, including title and reference slides, PowerPoint presentation.

Your group will research the developmental period including:

1. A description of physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development in this period in life.
2. Explain factors that are impactful during the assigned developmental period. For example, Attachment in infancy, Parenting Styles in Childhood, Bullying in Adolescence, View on Marriage in Early Adulthood, Views of the Elderly in Late Adulthood.
3. Describe relevant theories that relate to development and the particular developmental period your group has been assigned.

Use three to five scholarly resources to support your explanations. Apply relevant topics as discussed in the textbook and other resources you have located and read.

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.

Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include 50-75 words per slide.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, including an APA formatted reference slide, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development in childhood

Introduction

Developmental psychology is the study of human development. The field focuses on how children and adults develop over time, how we learn and how that learning affects our behavior, emotions, and thinking abilities.

Physical development

Physical development is the growth of a child’s body. It can be thought of as an ongoing process, but it is also influenced by genes and nutrition. Physical development takes place during infancy and childhood, with physical changes occurring in both boys and girls.

The environment has an important role to play in influencing physical growth: children who grow up in warm environments tend to have faster rates of growth than those living under cold conditions or without access to clean water or nutritious food. In addition to environmental factors like these, there are biological ones such as hormones that affect how fast your body matures; these hormones may be controlled by genes from both parents (like how Mommy gives birth) or just one parent (like Daddy).

Cognitive development

Cognitive development is the process of acquiring new knowledge and skills. It’s a lifelong process, and it involves interactions between the child and his or her environment.

Cognitive development can be divided into two main categories: cognitive growth (acquisition of cognitive skills) and social-emotional growth (development of self-regulatory abilities).

Socioemotional development

Socioemotional development refers to the ability of a child to understand and respond to the emotions of others, as well as his or her own feelings. This includes how he or she feels about himself or herself, in addition to how he or she interacts with other people. In this section, we’ll look at three areas:

• Cognitive development—the ability for children who are learning about math and reading

• Physical development—the ability for children who are growing physically

Takeaway:

As you can see, there are many influences on a child’s development. Physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development are all important components of a child’s overall well-being. Each of these areas can be affected by the environment that they grow up in and what happens to them during this time period. In some cases (such as physical), environmental factors such as poverty or malnutrition may cause delays in normal growth patterns for children living in poor environments with limited resources available to them. While these delays may not appear immediately apparent until later on in life when people begin exploring different aspects of their lives like education or work opportunities (for example), it is still important for parents who have children at home today learn more about how best to support their child’s needs so that they can reach their full potential while still being able to enjoy life at whatever age they choose!

Conclusion

I hope this post has given you a better understanding of what to expect with physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development in childhood. You can start by assessing your child’s needs and setting goals for them as well as understanding the resources available to you. I’d love to hear how this article helped you!
