Speech language pathologists, special educators, and related providers working with children with language delays, hearing impairments, or other variables that affect typical language development use empirically supported strategies to increase language skills and teach sign languages. These strategies may have implications for typically developing children as well. Research suggests that before a baby’s first word, his or her receptive (listening and comprehension) language skills are more developed compared to productive (speech) skills. Tomasello (2003) writes that infants use gestures before they can speak, sometimes even using a combination of word and gesture before they can express multiple-word utterances. Although infants’ cognitive development limits language production at this point, and there are also physical limitations related to vocal cord development, what if the understanding and gesturing ability they do have could be harnessed and augmented through instruction?

Some researchers who work with signed languages have explored their use with hearing infants in this in-between stage to increase infants’ ability to communicate with caregivers. There are several commercially available products of adapted sign language that parents can use to teach their infants. From a practical perspective, this application has the potential to decrease guessing what infants need or want (e.g., if a child can sign that her diaper is wet). Researchers are also interested in learning whether there are cognitive or language development benefits to children that first learn to sign.

For this Discussion, you consider the potential benefits and limitations of using sign language with hearing infants.

To prepare:

· Review the two websites on baby sign language in this week’s Learning Resources. Both are commercial products for parents and other caregivers to use when implementing signing with hearing infants.

· Perform research in the Walden Library and other reputable academic sources to research the effectiveness of baby signing as well as its effects on verbal language and cognitive development.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an argument either for or against the use of “baby signs” with infants. Justify your argument by providing evidence from the literature about the effects of baby sign language on verbal language development and cognitive development. Does it help or hinder a child’s language development? Has research demonstrated that it positively or negatively effects a child’s cognitive development?

Psychology Homework

Q1)  

Describe an aspect of your development that differs from a parent’s of grandparent’s when he or she was your age. Using influences highlighted by the lifespan perspective, explain this difference in development.

Q2) 

 

Using the textbook for guidance, but in your own words, what are teratogens?  Identify at least five teratogens and describe their effects on the developing embryo.  Finally, what advice would you give to expectant mothers about their behaviors while pregnant, based on your new knowledge of teratogens?  You may use additional sources (such as other websites) in your description and advice. 

Q3)

 

Please watch this brief video clip of Baillargeon’s study of babies using the violation-of-expectation method to test object permanence.

SAF – The Magic Years.m4v 

 

You can certainly watch the entire video, but the clip you need to complete this assignment starts at minute 5:26 and ends at minute 9:05, so that is the only segment you are required to watch.

After viewing, please answer the following questions:

1. Why do you think babies of different ages respond differently to this experiment?

2. Do Baillargeon’s results support or refute Piaget’s theory of Sensorimotor Stages? Please offer specific support for your opinion.

Please remember to cite your sources.

Number of Pages: 2

Exercise and Psychological Well-Being

 When people consider whether to exercise, they weigh the pros and cons. The more benefits a person is able to identify, the more likely it is that the person will become more intrinsically motivated to exercise. In this Forum imagine that you are working with a person who doesn’t exercise regularly. In your first post identify at least 4 pros and  4 cons of exercise. You goal here is to both persuade the non-exerciser, and convince those who fund exercise programs that their investment is beneficial.
 

In a 500 word paper critically analyze the following topic. Analysis must be in your own words. Do not copy or paraphrase information.

Analyze this particular disorder as it relates to our society’s preoccupation of having to look a certain way.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a distressing and impairing preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in appearance, is an “OCD-spectrum disorder” that appears to be relatively common. BDD often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed, however, due to patients’ reluctance to divulge their symptoms because of secrecy and shame. Any body part can be the focus of concern (most often, the skin, hair, and nose), and most patients engage in compulsive behaviors, such as mirror checking, camouflaging, excessive grooming, and skin picking. Approximately half are delusional, and a majority experience ideas or delusions of reference. Nearly all patients suffer some impairment in functioning as a result of their symptoms, some to a debilitating degree.
