Keith Ollivierre Prof. J Adler Psychology 100 Date: Friday, December 14 2014 Literature review project Topic : In beauty we trust: Children prefer information from more attractive informants. From : British journal of developmental psychology. This article is about whether or not information is perceived as correct to a child either coming from a attractive informant or a lesser attractive one. what i learned from the experiment is that children are vulnerable when obtaining information because they do not base there decisions about who to trust based on the the concept of information being right or wrong but rather on purely non-epistemic grounds. 1.
They believe that securely attached infants would become autonomous adults; these know the importance of their past relationships and can recall positive and negative experiences. Those that had insecure attachments would fall into the dismissing or preoccupied category. They would see their childhood experiences as either unimportant and dismiss them or as important but cannot resolve issues. Using the AAI, Hamilton (1994) studied 30 adolescents and found a strong correlation between infant attachment type and adult attachment type. Similarly Steinberg (1990) found that securely attached adolescents were more likely to maintain healthy relationships with their parents than those classified as dismissive or preoccupied.
The parents need to realize that a disability is not a death sentence. As stated above, many times a disabled child has just as much an impact on a family as child prodigy and a family may also come to love this child as deeply as they would if they were a “normal” child. Genetic counselors should only be held legally responsible for a regretted decision if the parents felt like they were being persuaded into that decision. Genetic counselors should only give the parents information, both negative and positive, about the disability and nothing more. The counselors should not refer the couple to a hospital that could possibly terminate the fetus nor should they refer them to a facility that will care for the disabled fetus when he/she is born.
To what extent do the ‘grand theories’ discussed in Book 1, Chapter 2 take account of the role of social experiences in child development? Throughout much of history children were often viewed as small versions of adults and little attention was paid to their cognitive, emotional, physical, social and educational growth. Today, recognising such things is essential because they can have either a positive or negative impact on a child’s development. There are four ‘grand theories’ in child development: Behaviourism, Social Learning Theory, Constructivism and Social Constructivism. They are referred to as Grand Theories because they offer explanations of child development as a whole, rather than in specific areas.
The Developing Child 1) Discuss the differences in theory about the essence of human beings according to John Jacque Rousseau and John Locke and tell what the debate between them came to be called. JR: believed people are born with skills and qualities that make them who they are. JL: babies are blank when being born, we learn only by experience which we are nurtured by others. The debate between this was called nature vs. nurture 2) True or False. Babies are born legally blind.
Bright Not Broken Becky Surles PSY: 221 Child Development Pamela Goodier September 16, 2012 Bright Not Broken Bright not Broken is a book that deals with children who are gifted but have disabilities. The book written by authors Kennedy, Banks and Grandin issues a warning that “the future of our society depends on our gifted children, but the gifts and talents of some of the most brilliant kids may never be recognized because they fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or 2e.” Often these are children who have diagnosis of ADHD and autism spectrum and are misdiagnosed by doctors and thereby mislabeled by educators. In Bright not Broken the authors explain the challenges that children face who are gifted with learning disabilities
Saskieya Anderson April 16, 2012 Honors English III Period 9 Allowance Should Be Earned There are many books about parenting in the world but there is not a step by step rule book to parenting. Good parents discipline and teach their children to be prepared for the real world by encouraging a positive mentality, physical, spiritual and financial strength to succeed. Some parents feel that rewarding their children by gift giving or financial allowances further encourages them to understand how the real world works with the concept that through doing work or good deeds you earn a reward while others believe that an allowance should be given regardless of a child’s behavior. Despite the fact that giving children
Avoidant children often have rejecting parents, which leads to them developing an internal model which makes them think they are unacceptable and unworthy. The continuity hypothesis provides an explanation for why these early experience which lead to certain attachment types go on to affect relationships in adult life, as attachment type remains fairly stable over a lifetime. The internal working model developed in childhood influences a person’s expectations and attitudes towards relationships. The theory predicts that securely attached people are more likely to have stable relationships, compared to resistant types who are likely to be clingy and avoidant types who aren’t comfortable in relationships. Hazan & Shaver conducted an experiment which lends support to Bowlby’s concept of the IWM.
Shawnna Frazier PSY 225 July 3, 2011 Patricia Riley Birth Order Report Children are different from one another. Children that are born first are different from the ones that come second or last. They are different by how they act, how they would be around other people or how they would like to have things done or look.

At times they can be aggressive.
For example if a person believes that education is the only way to get success no matter what anyone else’s views are concerning education. In a family of four children all the children could be taught to the importance of education, but not all respond the same. However, family, friends, religion and schools can influence the Learning theory of interpersonal relational aspects. The relationships and influences can have a reaction the outcome of a personality of a person. For example according to Skinner “human behavior does not stem from an act of the will, but like any observable phenomenon, it is lawfully determined and can be studied scientifically “(Feist & Feist,
