Homework 2 Secret of the Wild Child Based on the video Secret of the Wild Child, answer the following questions in half page paragraphs: Based on Noam Chomsky’s theory of language acquisition, do you think if Genie had had a consistent, nurturing environment after she was found by the authorities, would she ever be able to fully speak? Why or why not? See pages 168—177 in the text for a review of the theories of language development. Based on Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, do you think Genie was born with an intellectual disability or was her intellectual disability caused from her isolation in the basement for the first 13 years of her life? Why? See pages 155—162 in the text for review of Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Based on our discussion on attachment, do you think that Genie’s ability to form attachment to others was affected? Why or why not? See pages 189—196 in the text for a review of the theories of attachment. Homework 3 Early Childhood: Cognitive Development and Early Childhood Psychosocial Development Go over the Early Childhood: Cognitive Development and Early Childhood Psychosocial Development in conjunction with reading chapters 9 and 10 in the text and answer the following prompts in half page essays: How have you observed a child exhibiting at least two of the following during early childhood: Animism, egocentrism, or lack of conservation. You can also use yourself as an example if you remember doing any of these as a child. During early childhood, children experience a vocabulary explosion. Write a half page essay discussing why do you think children have a vocabulary explosion at this time and how can parents facilitate their children’s vocabulary during this time. Also, discuss the advantages of a child learning two languages and explain why do you think it is easier for a child to learn two languages and do you think one language may interfere with the other? Read the section on Montessori schools. What are some advantages and disadvantages of the Montessori method? Also, in your opinion, do you believe that the Montessori method lacks the structure that children need or do you think that some children flourish with the Montessori method? You may have to use an outside source for more information about Montessori schools. Play is such an important part of child development that it is almost its own field of psychology. Bases on the readings from the text, what do you think would be some of the consequences if a child is not allowed to play and/or use his/her imagination? Do children learn prosocial behavior? Why or why not? Do children learn antisocial behavior? Why or why not?
