Name 25 points Class: Time: (In: criticalperiodtstla.ws) PLEASE read all questions in this document The assignment is presented to stimulate critical thinking skills towards information presented in the text and lecture concerned with the cognitive development within the critical/sensitive period 1. What is the definition of Critical/sensitive Period used in class: 2. What state(s) must the organism be in for successful initiation of a critical period to occur? 3. What state(s) must the organism be in for successful completion of the critical period to occur? 4. What behavior(s)/competency (ies) must be inherent property (ies) of the organism for successful initiation, transition, and completion of a critical period to occur? AND WHY? 5. What is the problem state experienced by the organism prior to the initiation of your answer to number 4 during the critical period? 6. What must be present in the environment for the organism to successfully complete the critical period to occur? 6a. your answer to number six is which variable in an experiment: 7. What biological strategy (mental process) is applied to solve the problem discussed in number 5? 7a. your answer to number seven is which variable/event in an experiment: 8. What does your definition of sensitive period suggest "emerges" during an "optimal" time? 9. What mental process(es) does the inclusion of "optimal" in the definition of sensitive period require the organism perform prior to "emergence" of your answer to number 8? 10. What mental process(es) does your definition of sensitive period suggest occurs in the organism to make that organism "especially responsive to environmental influences"? 11. What mental process(es) does the inclusion of "especially" in the definition of sensitive period require the organism perform prior to becoming "responsive to environmental influences"? 11a. What is suggested by the concepts discussed in lecture and text to be responsible for changing the responsivity of the organism to environmental influences? 12. How is the MIND as defined and discussed in lecture related to the initiation, execution, and completion of the critical/sensitive period (please review your answers to number 8-11)? 13. What problem does nature present to the organism that requires the concept of a critical/sensitive period to solve? 14. What is produced in the organism upon successful completion of the critical period? 14a. your answer to number fourteen is which variable in an experiment: 15. What properties must be inherent to the organism for it to successfully complete the sensitive/critical period? 16. Please describe how the definition of MIND as defined and discussed in lecture is related to the topics of Fitness and adaptation and learning during the critical/sensitive period 17. the independent (stimuli) and dependent (responses) variables during the sensitive period allow inference about what intervening variables: 18. Using information presented in text and lecture describing the model proposed by Piaget, please 18a. list independent variables (stimuli) that you can provide to enable growth of cognition in the individual during childhood. 18b. list dependent variables (responses) that you can measure to enable inference that growth of cognition in the individual occurred during childhood. 18c. list the intervening events described by Piaget that you can infer from occurrence of the dependent variable response to that independent variable Name 25 points Class: Time: (In: criticalperiodtstla.ws) PLEASE read all questions in this document The assignment is presented to stimulate critical thinking skills towards information presented in the text and lecture concerned with the cognitive development within the critical/sensitive period 1.
