How do your findings have implications for understanding how the age of the person will potentially influence the person’s adaptation to any change or family transitions?
As time passes, many things about the person and their environment change that causes that person to behave differently. During this early stage of development, children are demonstrating executive functioning, which is “a set of higher-level cognitive abilities that includes organization, planning, decision making, and self-control” (Ashford, p. 613). Part of Piaget’s theory is that in early childhood, children are egocentric and are thinking with symbolic function and intuitive thought. If Rory were to have a new sibling soon, there might be a regression in her cognitive …show more content…
Discontinuous change consists of many little stages of development that complete the same goal. The difference between continuous change or discontinuous change is important because it determines if something can be modified or not. We cannot understand the contributions of the biopsychosicial dimensions of human behavior without also considering the influences of time and the timing of events.
How do your findings have implications for understanding potential cohort or period influences in your case?
For children growing up in today’s American society, electronic screens (television, computers, game systems, tablets, and phones) are extremely common for middle and upper-class families. One study says “There is little evidence that Internet users spend less time with friends, family members, or neighbors…the Internet enhances existing lines of communication by providing users an additional, and at times more convenient, way to interact” (Ashford, 2013, p.170). But it does not address how a full-time electronic screen has on a young child’s development by supplementing other forms of interaction. Face to face involvement with people and physical interaction with their environment is better than any learning software. American Academy of Pediatrics advises that there be no electronic screen media use for children under the age of two. My attitude is that today’s cradle to the grave electronic screen use shapes a person’s worldview with consumerism and not their
