Question

1. Explain how culture and environment can impact development.
2. Then, imagine that you have a 3-year-old daughter who is not yet potty trained. Based on what you know and have learned about development, should you be concerned? Why or why not?

3. In 3-4 sentences, explain what the cohort effect is.  

4. Then think about this - Why should we not rely on our own personal knowledge to explain human development?

Answer 1

1.Impact of culture-

it forms beliefs,ideas and behavior of the child.

Impact of environment-

It guides the relationships and forms the self identity and image of the child .

As well as as both form the perception of the child towards the world.

2. Based on what i know if my 3 year old daughter is not yet potty trained , I will be concerned because by this age children do develop this sense and if she is failing then i will need to take her to the doctor or have an casual checkup. It can be a common and normal thing as in some exceptional cases but the checkup will be required.

3.cohort refers to the same trait people (something common amongst them).

Cohort effect is that influence on the research result that is caused due to the same age people in the research group.

It causes influence on the results due to the age.

The affect is indirect due to common age related influence.

4. Because no matter how varied knowledge we have we still know very little as humans our concepts are really narrow.

Human development is very vast just by observing people around through a lifetime, one will still have a lot of concepts unknown,we need to check researches,our personal knowledge could be right but in how many cases we never knoe, exceptions occur.
