Play in early childhood development is important because it helps physically and cognitively. Gross and motor skills in early childhood development get better and better because of play. Play helps get kids to exercise and reduces the chance of becoming obsessed. Children who pretend play “helps them solidify new cognitive schemes they were developing.” (Paris, Ricardo, & Raymond 185) “Play, then, reflects changes in their conceptions or thoughts. However, children also learn as they play and experiment. (Paris, Ricardo, & Rymond 185).

Play is such a fundamental part of the early childhood experience. Through play children learn to make sense of the world. According to Piaget, children are very much involved in pretending during this preoperational stage of development.  He believed that children’s play helped them to synthesize new schemata that helped them to develop cognitively and that this play, based on pretend and experimentation, applied new ways of thinking about old ideas (Child Growth & Development, p. 185).  Play helps children understand the world that they live in.  Children need to experiment, manipulate, problem solve, and interact with the world around them so they can make decisions for themselves that are essential to understanding how the world works.  Play provides these opportunities for children to actively engage with their environment and in doing so, come to understand how the world works as well as their place in it.

Both Piaget and Vygotsky both believed that children need to be active participants in their learning. Not only is play important for cognitive growth, but it is a very important aspect of physical and social growth as well. Piaget believed that children go through stages of growth and development that presented opportunities and experiences. The child would then apply prior knowledge to these new experiences and develop new schema in such a way that cognitive equilibrium would be achieved, and new knowledge acquired (Child Growth & Development, p. 187). Vygotsky took a more social approach to learning. He believed that children learn from adults and older peers and felt that a child would not reach his full potential without these interactions (Child Growth & Development, p. 188). He believed that children should be taught tasks that are just slightly more challenging than they can accomplish independently with the help of a skilled teacher. His idea of the Zone of Proximal Development is seen today in teaching methods using scaffolding or supports that help the child to stretch his thinking and acquire new learning (Child Growth & Development, p188). According to Vygotsky, play allows children to model the actions of adults so they can begin to understand the world better and their role within that world (El’Konin, p. 13).

 

 

In this module, we learned about the different types of memory and the steps in the memory process. Pick two different concepts from the list below and find an article online that reflects each concept.  You are looking for articles that show real-world examples of the concepts, (types of memory) not scholarly articles about the concepts.  You should not be discussing psychology studies or using psychology sites such as psychology today. Examples of articles to look for

• Impact of cell phones on memory–articles not studies
• Why do we get memory wrong?
• How can lifestyles affect memory?
• How does social media impact memory
• Find articles that would be an example of procedural memory without googling procedural memory
• Research some events that would be considered a flashbulb memory without googling flashbulb memory

Pick 2 concepts from this list:  flashbulb memory, episodic memory, retrieval, recognition, long term memory, semantic memory, implicit/procedural memory

*For example, if you decide to pick flashbulb memory and semantic memory then you would need to find an article that reflects the use of flashbulb memory and an article that reflects the use of semantic memory.  Two concepts & two articles.

After reading through each of the articles address the following for each:

1. Provide a summary of the article. Be sure your summary has enough detail to ensure full credit.
2. Identify the type of memory that the article reflects
3. Explain why the article reflects that type of memory.  Make sure to highlight specifics from the article that support your analysis. Make sure to accurately incorporate and underline at least 4 different terms for each article (this does not include the memory you are discussing)
4. Pick one of the other concepts listed above and explain how that concept is different from the one that your article reflects.
5. Accurately cite your article sources. Use a citation generator for help with citation using APA  format.  NO Citation means no credit

Discuss how existential theory conceptualizes anxiety and the roles of freedom an awareness of one’s mortality, as well as how it is addressed in the therapy.

 

1. Management v. Leadership

Please explain how a leader versus a manager would respond to the following situation, based on the definitions provided in the text and by referencing class discussions:

A human services agency was founded in 1986 to provide counseling and treatment services to adults struggling with substance use. Over the last several years, there has been a drastic spike in the number of individuals, ages 12-17, that are actively using substances in the region; specifically, heroin and fentanyl. In addition to published research and data that shows evidence of this growing community need, staff at the agency are also sharing the high number of calls received by staff for parents advocating for minors that are seeking drug treatment.

*In your response, please reference the mission and feedback.

 

1. Leadership Styles

 

Brody defines three leadership styles- directive leadership, participative leadership, and delegation leadership.

 

Please provide an example situation that would best be addressed using each leadership style. Describe how a leader using each style would respond and why that leadership style is the most appropriate for the situation. (You are to create example situations, which should be different for each style)

Discuss scientific theory. What requirements must theories meet in order to be deemed acceptable? Do you think it is easy to propose theories of causation? why or why not?

*” Please give me the correct answer with an explanation. Also, don’t forget to provide a conclusion as it is mandatory.
