Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the age group or developmental stage you selected in Week 2 of the course. Remember, you must use this age group or developmental stage. This final paper builds on the work that you started in Week 3. ELABORATE AND ADD TO WHAT I HAVE UPLOADED.
You will then review developmental psychology literature examining findings for that age group or developmental stage in terms of the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions, and how they impact development and can best be used to meet developmental needs. Additionally, you will create a summary of the developmental stage as viewed through the lens of one developmental theory we have studied across the course (e.g., Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, Freud’s psychosexual theory, Erickson’s psychosocial theory, etc.).
