Brainer a b s t r a c t A hoary assumption of the law is that children are more prone to false-memory reports than adults, and hence, their testimony is less reliable than adults’. Since the 1980s, that assumption has been buttressed by numerous studies that detected declines in false memory between early childhood and young adulthood under con- trolled conditions. Fuzzy-trace theory predicted reversals of this standard developmental pattern in circumstances that are directly relevant to testimony because they involve using the gist of experience to remember events. That prediction has been investigated during the past decade, and a large number of experiments have been published in which false memories have indeed been found to increase between early childhood and young adulthood. Further, experimentation has tied age increases in false memory to improvements in children’s memory for semantic gist. According to current scientific evidence, the principle that children’s testimony is necessarily more infected with false memories than adults’ and that, other things being equal, juries should regard adults’ testimony as necessarily more faithful to actual events is untenable. � 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction To say that the reliability of child witnesses’ memories has been a controversial topic is an understatement of rather large proportions. Along with recovery of repressed memories (e.g., Loftus & Ketcham, 1994), false eyewitness identifications (e.g., Wells et al., 1998), and false confessions (e.g., Kassin & Kiechel, 1996), it has been one of the most contentious areas of psycho-legal research c.

Pri Research on factors that can affect the accuracy of children’s autobiographical remembering has important implications for understanding the abilities of young witnesses to provide legal testimony. In this article, we review our own recent research on one factor that has much potential to induce errors in children’s event recall, namely natural memory sharing conversations with peers and parents. Our studies provide compelling evidence that not only can the content of conversations about the past intrude into later memory but that such exchanges can prompt the gener- ation of entirely false narratives that are more detailed than true accounts of experienced events. Further, our work show that dee- per and more creative participation in memory sharing dialogues can boost the damaging effects of conversationally conveyed mis- information. Implications of this collection of findings for children’s testimony are discussed. � 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction Perhaps only one simple and straightforward claim can be made about the accuracy of children’s testimony: not all statements made by children are true. Admittedly, exact accuracy is not the usual goal of memory in everyday life. Most autobiographical remembering is carried out for social purposes, such as to build bonds and foster connectedness with friends and family (see e.g., Nelson, 1993), and can serve these functions even when recollections do not precisely represent the past.

Developmental and Communication Milestones One of the first tasks infants and children must master is communication. The ability to communicate is an important skill. Infants communicate primarily through crying. Parents and caregivers can become quite adept at interpreting a child’s cry so that they can respond to his or her needs quickly and appropriately. While nature predisposes humans to language, it is nurture that determines language development. Language development can be facilitated a number of ways: Adults can modify their speech (i.e., child-directed speech, simplified speech) to help young children attend to and learn the important parts of speech and appropriate syntax; play simple games with children that encourage turn-taking (a characteristic of good communication); and use of scaffolding (e.g., repetition) to help children learn the basics of language and communication (Pinker, 2004). The milestones of language development range from pre-language babbling to multi-word phrases and sentences. Individual and cultural differences can affect the rate and form of language within these milestones. To prepare for this Discussion , select one developmental or communication milestone in infancy and/or toddlerhood. With these thoughts in mind: a brief description of the developmental or communication milestone you selected. Then explain the implications of missing or meeting the milestone in terms of normal, advanced, and delayed development. Be sure to include any multicultural and/or diversity considerations. Support your Discussion assignment with specific resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course . .

Here are a few quotes: 1. “Policy-making and its subsequent implementation are necessary to deal with societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015) 2. “Policy-making is driven by the need to solve societal problems and should result in interventions to solve these societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015) 3. “Examples of societal problems are unemployment, pollution, water quality, safety, criminality, well-being, health, and immigration.” (Janssen, 2015) The author of chapter 1 discusses several information and communication developments that influence policy-making. Select two of the developments in chapter 1 and describe how that development can influence policy to solve a specific problem. You have to research and identify a specific problem in society. You must do the following: 1)Provide a thoughtful research-based analysis and include at least three references to support your thoughts 2) ALL original posts ( two paragraphs supported by resources) and comments must be substantive.

There is a grey area in timing. Development has a variation in time- it maybe a few weeks or months. Developmental Management of Infants Birth to one month: Babies lose 5-8% of body weight in their first few days and then regain within 10-14 days They should gain about 2 lbs per month Nutritional needs should meet 110 kcal/kg/day Sleep about 16 hours Sucking, rooting, tonic neck, moro, grasp- present and symmetric Moving hand to mouth, sucking, or grasp clothing- self console May turn to parents voice Visual space is about 8 -12 in from face, vision is foggy Hearing and smell is developed- but especially smell Four ways of being awake: 1. Drowsy 2. Quiet but alert 3. Crying 4. Alert and active What does a baby’s cry mean? Normal Hunger- rhythmic intense They want to be cuddled-slow, low tone Pain- high pitch screetchy Tired- slow rhythmic, intensifies Cries should be distinctive and vary on needs or feels. This begins articulation What does a baby’s cry mean? Usually colics Crying for over 30 minutes even after being fed, cleaned, consoled. High-pitched, shrieking Abnormal central nervous system Cornelia de Lange syndrome – like a bleating lamb Cri-du-chat syndrome- like a cat Cerebral irritability (i.e. meningitis, hydrocephalus, kernicterus) Malnutrition especially marasmus Grunting Pneumonia Sepsis Hoarseness Hypothyroidism Trauma to the hypopharynx Vocal cord paralysis Muffled Epiglottis Stridorous Foreign body Infection – abscesses, croup, epiglottitis Laryngeal abnormalities Oropharynx abnormalities Tracheal abnormalities Neoplasm Weak or whimperyMuscle weakness Muscular dystrophy Myasthenia gravis Infection 1 month to 3 months Growth in height is approximately 1.4in per month Growth in head circumference is approximately 0.8 in Weight gain is approximately 420 g= about 1 lb a month Growth spurts are expected and baby will eat more in a quicker time frame Baby becomes more routined with sleeping, passing stool and eating schedule Body movement is symmetric Attempts to grasp objects Cooing and babbling should be expected Response to conversations- acknowledgment, turning head, focused with communication with body language They may show smiles, imitation, tracking objects.

Email: [email protected] Funding Information This research was made possible by grant R21 MH103627 from the US Department of Health and Human Services of the National Institute of Mental Health Abstract Mobile device use has become increasingly prevalent, yet its impact on infant development remains largely unknown. When parents use mobile devices in front of infants, the parent is physically present but most likely distracted and unresponsive. Research using the classic Still Face Paradigm (SFP) suggests that parental withdrawal and unre- sponsiveness may have negative consequences for children’s social- emotional development. In the present study, 50 infants aged 7.20 to 23.60 months (M = 15.40, SD = 4.74) and their mothers completed a modified SFP. The SFP consisted of three phases: free play (FP; parent and infant play and interact), still face (SF; parent withdraws attention and becomes unresponsive), and reunion (RU; parent resumes normal interaction). The modified SFP incorporated mobile device use in the SF phase. Parents reported on their typical mobile device use and infant temperament. Consistent with the standard SFP, infants showed more negative affect and less positive affect during SF versus FP. Infants also showed more toy engagement and more engagement with mother during FP versus SF and RU. Infants showed the most social bids during SF and more room exploration in SF than RU. More frequent reported mobile device use was associated with less room exploration and positive affect during SF, and less recovery (i.e., engagement with mother, room exploration positive affect) during RU, even when controlling for individual differences in temperament. Findings suggest that the SFP represents a promising theoretical framework for understanding the impact of parent’s mobile device use on infant social- emotional functioning and parent–infant interactions.

Development, Individual Differences, and Classroom Eric's Last Stand Linda K. Elksnin, Linda Hardin, and Susan P. Gurganus The call came over the loud speaker for me to go immediately to Mrs. Lang's trailer. I could tell by the sound of the secretary's voice that something was terribly wrong. I dismissed my older resource students and asked my teaching assistant to watch my two remaining students, who were from Mrs. Lang's second grade class. The look in these students' eyes told me they were frightened because they knew something was happening in their classroom. I ran over to Mrs. Lang's trailer and saw her standing outside with her students. I could see our assistant principal Mrs. Lunsford, standing in the doorway of the trailer. When she looked at me, her eyes warned me to proceed with caution. I could hear the banging sound of desks hitting desks and the wailing of an upset little boy. When I reached the trailer, Mrs. Lunsford moved and allowed me to peek inside. There he was, just a mite of a boy. Tears were streaming down his face like rain running down a window pane. I saw him kick a stuffed animal across the room like it was a kickball. He clenched his little fists by the sides of his head and brought them down in a quick jerk to his hips. He crossed his arms and pushed against his stomach as a loud groan filled the disarrayed classroom. He remained in that position for a few seconds and then very slowly and quietly raised his head. He seemed to be in a state of utter exhaustion. He just stood there, as if suspended in time. I walked very slowly toward him and softly called his name. "Eric," I said, "let me sit on the rug and talk to you." He backed away from me like a suspicious animal. I thought for a moment and slowly got down on my knees. We were eye-to-eye. I could feel that he was uncomfortable with that so I scrunched up my body a little bit and made myself shorter than Eric. I wasn't sure if he was going to lose it again and start whirling chairs around. I did know that I couldn't get up as fast as I used to and that maybe I had not made such a wise choice of seating positions. However, Eric began to show signs of feeling more at ease and so did I. My knees were starting to burn like fire so I sat down and stretched out my legs. Eric was still standing. I looked at him and very calmly said, "Eric, please bring me the stuffed bear that looks so lonely just sitting by himself. (This bear was the stuffed animal that Eric had kicked across the room.) He brought the bear to me. I examined it and asked Eric, "Do you see any places where he might be hurt?" Eric reached, for the bear, looked it over, and said, "I think he has a headache because he hit his head on the wall." Mrs. Lunsford entered the classroom and told Eric that his mother was here to pick him up. Eric threw down the stuffed bear and ran out the door to find his mother. We followed and.
