Problem: In your first post, respond to the questions below. Give details and specific examples to support your answers. Provide a citation for any website where you find information to support your posts.
1. Which areas of development (physical, cognitive, emotional, etc.) are useful to study? Explain your answer.
2. Which of the developmental theories/theorists covered this week do you feel is most accurate/useful?
3. Identify a typical developmental milestone for a person at a specific stage in the theory you identified and explain how achievement of this milestone might be impacted by genetics and environment.
4. Do you feel one factor-genetics or environment-might impact a person more strongly at certain ages? For example, if an infant is at home with only a parent all day for the first year of life, will her acquisition of language, motor skills, and the like be different in comparison to that of a child who spends her first year in daycare with several children of varying ages? What if the two children in this example were six years old?
