Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at
least two classmates. Offer an additional example of how
development of the age groups your classmates selected
influence curriculum decisions.
Student 1: Tracie:
The age group I chose is 3-5 years of age. The physical
development of children in this age group is movement and
coordination which can also influence the curriculum. During
this time, children’s’ brains are like sponges. They are watching
and learning everything in their environment. This age group
brings a “wide variety of experiences to the preschool setting,
which should serve to inform curricular decisions (Jaruszewicz,
2013). The social and emotional aspect of this age group is that
of caring, understanding and many more. Three to five-year
old’s need the aptness to proceed around and we as teachers
should promote physical development. A great way of doing this
is consistently doing active play inside and also outside of the
classroom. Teachers should label bins and shelves that have
objects such as toys and the areas they are playing/ working in.
The children will be able to independently pick them up and
return them as they play. Incorporate games in the curriculum
that lets them move free and easily within the game.
Cognitive aspect of a 3-5-year-old is that their brain functions
are learning things on a daily base to help the child. In the
newsletter by Paraskevopoulou it was written: “Curriculums
that include topics such as appropriate scheduling, creating a

developmentally appropriate classroom, and making the most of
learning centers, will help create a classroom environment that
actively engages the child and keeps his or her attention. When
implemented in the classroom, these components contribute to
less discipline problems and a smoother day” (Paraskevopoulou,
F, (2008).
The key to successful learning, especially for children ages 3-5,
you must have a classroom environment that’s design especially
for them. The environment should be one where they able to
move around freely with no obstacles in their way. The
curriculum must be on the preschool level for the students to
understand.

Student 2: Stephanie:
The group I selected that I would love to work with is age range
from 3 to 5 years old. During this stage, the children are using
language to express their feelings, questions, and thoughts. This
age group is considered what I would call " preschoolers".

The physical domain goals focus on developing coordination
and fluidity of movement. Children are growing so fast during
this time that their body image may lag behind their actual
physical appearance, and they may have difficulty with spatial
awareness. Many of the physical development needs of
preschoolers can be supported by careful planning of the
environment and blocking out indoor and outdoor time periods
where children are free and expected to make choices, direct
their own play, and moderate their personal behavior.
The emergence of the social self takes center stage and with it
attention to cultural and gender identity, making and being
friends, and solving problems without coming to blows or
hurting someone else's feelings. Children of this age are highly
motivated by the desire to please the adults they came about.
Key goals in cognitive domain include development of memory,
attention, symbolic representation, loge and reasoning, language
and literacy, multiple perspectives, and the acquisition of
concepts fundamentally to later learning across all content
areas.

Guided Response:
Respond to at least two of your classmates and provide
recommendations to extend their thinking. Identify at least one
aspect of the video not discussed in their responses that you
think should be included. Share some ideas for how they could
incorporate this aspect in their classroom.

Student 1: Venice:
Preschool is a very important time in life for young children.
Preschools help children get familiar with active play and
children their age. Children attending preschool for the first
time will get to experience being around other children their age
if they haven't done so already during daycare. These children
will learn how to communicate, share, and respect personal
boundaries. Children attending preschool will learn letters,
numbers, potty training, words, and should also begin writing
their names by this age. Preschool isn't always based around
curriculum in the classroom. Preschool also promotes life skills
such as cooking, washing their hands, cleaning all through
active play that will benefit them in the future.
Well qualified teachers are important to ensure the wellbeing
of the children.
These qualified teachers help with steering the children in the
correct direction of life and being successful during their school
years. They also help assess issues in children early on that may
surface, so those issues can be address and the child won’t
suffer in the end. Qualified teachers also advocate for their
children when it is something in the curriculum they like and
may not like.
Play is integrated into the classroom by allowing children to be
social and use their imagination doing so while cooking, play
talking on the phone, cleaning and pretending to be parents who
they demonstrate what they are seeing at home. All of these
things stimulate the brain and prepares them for what life has in
store.
Student 2: Stephanie:
Preschool program is very important for young children.

Preschool is known for an educational establishment to prepare
the young children for Kindergarten. In preschool, children
combine learning with play in a program run by professionally
trained adults. Many people will confused preschool and
daycare. Many people believe that preschool is just like a
daycare center. However, preschool is where the children
emphasis in learning and development rather than enabling
parents to work or pursue other activities. Play is integrated
into learning with a lot of make believe that allow children to
develop abstract thinking, verbal and social skills, along with
self-regulation. All of which enhance their imagination,
vocabulary, social, emotional, and cognitive learning skills.
Play is very important because it helps children learn about the
world and society. It also promotes problem-solving, promotes
creativity, imagination, cognitive, social, and emotional
development.
According to naeyc, play is an important part of children's
learning and development. Their are many games that can be
used to help with the children learning and development. In the
video, the teacher had many great ideas for the children by
using nature materials. This allows them to be familiar with the
nature side of the world. This also allows them to be more
creative with their thoughts.

Guided Response:
Reply to at least one peer who chose a psychologist other than
the one you selected and two or more peers overall. The goal of
the discussion forum is to foster continual dialogue, similar to
what might occur in a verbal face-to-face exchange. Consider
the following questions in your responses:

· What additional questions do you have about the psychologist
that your peer summarized? For example, you could ask about
his/her contributions to theory and/or research.
· Are there relevant connections between the work of the
influential figure you selected and the individual selected by
your peer?
· Share examples from your own life that illustrate your peer’s
chosen theoretical perspective.
Student 1: Amber:
Select one noted psychologist from any of the included lists in
“The 100 Most Eminent Psychologists of the 20th Century”.
Haggbloom et al. (2002).
· Sigmund Freud
Locate information about this person to learn more about
him/her and his/her work.
“Born: May 6, 1856
Birthplace: Freiberg, Moravia, Austrian Empire (now Příbor,
Czech Republic)
Died: September 23, 1939
Place of death: London, England” (Cook, 2015).
Summarize the contributions of the influential figure you
selected to the field of psychology. In your discussion, include
the following: Describe your selected psychologist and his or
her main contributions to the field.

“Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis and as such has had a
tremendous impact on contemporary thought and popular
culture by baring the irrational and subconscious roots of much
human action” (Cook, 2015).
Next, summarize the scholarly article you read. Your summary
should provide an overview of the theoretical perspective and
describe any empirical work (i.e., research study) that is
presented in the article. For additional assistance on how to
summarize an article click here.
In the article,
Fears Founded and Unfounded,
author Sigmund Freud explains his theory between actual and
unstable fears. For example, one person might fear what another
does not based on either knowledge/experience or their
perception of a certain thing. In addition, Freud expresses that,
fear could in fact, cause more harm than good in a situation, and
that it is better to use rational thinking to analyze the situation
to determine the best outcome rather than let fear drive certain
behaviors and actions. However, fear is also a part of our safe
keeping as it alerts us to real danger, so it is important to take
this in consideration when determining whether the fear is real
or an exaggerated misconception (2017).
Examine how this theory/research provides insight into
differences in psychological functioning.
In layman’s terms, what does the theoretical perspective, that
you explain, tell us about the differences between people and
how they behave, think, and feel? How might it explain why
they do what they do?
Basically, it says that people who might be facing a true life
and death situation might be facing a real fear brought on by
self-preservation, while others are dealing with over

exaggerated fallacy’s that are only causing more damage to the
well-being of the individual mental health.
Illustrate with an example from your own observation or
experience.
What personal experiences or observations of these types of
behaviors might be able to be explained by this perspective?
Ia friend of mine was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder,
regarding my past experiences it has been common that in many
social situations she has faced caused or led to negative
consequences in life, so now she associates any social situation
as having some kind of negative experience. This could be
considered a false fear for some, but from my understanding it
is based off prior experiences.

Describe your selected psychologist and his or her main
contributions to the field
.
Stanley Milgram was a social psychologist know for obedience
experiments. His research was aimed at seeing how far people
are willing to go to obey authority. His experiments raised some
questions on ethical issues as well. The biggest contribution
Stanley Milgram made is seen today in how experiments are
done and what is accepted and allowed to take place during the
experiments.
summarize the scholarly article
The article is a guide to the steps taken in an experiment which
would determine how obedience play a part in the harming of
others. The test subject was put in front of a machine which had
buttons each button was a connected to a shock generator which

was attached to a complete stranger in another room. The test
subject would ask a question to the person hooked to the
receiving end of the shock device. If the question was answered
incorrectly the test subject would have to shock them. There
were 30 buttons and every button were labeled from slight
shock to Danger, sever shock. The test was performed to find
out how far the person was willing to go if an authority figure
was telling them to proceed with shocking the person.
Examine how this theory/research provides insight into
differences in psychological functioning.
This experiment shows a lot about how the human mind works.
Most people in the experiment was dismissive to the other
person who was receiving the shock, simply because an
authority figure told them to press the button. Some stopped a
questioning their action but still proceeded in delivering the
shocks. Very few stood up and said this is wrong I will not do
it.
This is in my opinion very disturbing to say the least. For a
human to know they are hurting someone else and proceed to do
so even when they know they are wrong just because someone
who is perceived as having authority told them to do so. This
shows humans will do whatever they are told to do as long as
they do not feel like they are responsible for the act.
Guided Response:
Reply to at least one peer who chose a hypothesis other than the
one you selected and two or more peers overall. The goal of
this interactive learning activity is to foster creative and critical
thinking. Consider the following questions in your responses:
· What ethical or methodological considerations may have been
overlooked by your peer?

· Suggest an alternate descriptive method (e.g., case study,
survey, naturalistic observation) to test the same idea.
Student 1: Carlen:
Select a hypothesis from the following list
Attractive people are more likely to be asked on a date.
Briefly summarize a perspective (e.g., behaviorism,
psychodynamic theory, cognitivism, humanism, sociocultural
perspectives, and biological/physiological/psychological) that
you might apply to your study of this topic. Explain how it may
be relevant to your understanding of this topic.
Sociocultural perspective is what I chose because where you are
or what you do and surround yourself with affects you
prospective on most things and I believe social media changes
your prospective on things.
Describe a simple experiment Preview the document that you
might conduct to test the hypothesis you have chosen. In your
description, include the following:
Identify the independent and dependent variables, clearly
operationalizing each. To test my theory I would use social
media (Independent variable) and the type of dating apps would
be my (Dependent variable). I would make it so I had 3 females
and 3 male’s swiping on tinder and other dating sites and watch
who they swipe. I would get the base line “hot” score by asking
everyone what they prefer and making them vote and the most
common selections would be what the base line is. Then watch
them utilize the apps and see if who they swipe on matches the
base line. One way that we could stop people from being bias is
what I said, make a base line for hot and even if they swipe off
of that it won’t count for the “hot” list.

Student 2: Pamela:
Hypothesis: Reading to a child will result in a more extensive
vocabulary.
Although Neurologist Sigmund Freud’s is well known as the
founder of psychoanalysis, his theories were criticized and not
widely accepted by his colleagues then or today because of
weak, experimental methods, and his theories were hard to test
so, they can not be deemed as true or false (LeFrancois, 2016,
sec 9.2).
According to LeFrancois, (2016), the description of psychology
is based on a wide field of study; it is sometimes compared to a
puzzle that requires placing the different pieces in the correct
order. Psychology is a social science that studies human
behavior and the mental process through theory and hypothesis
while specializing in trying to uncover the reason why people
experience psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression
addiction and relationship problems (LeFrancois, 2016). The
psychological study of the human mind is relevant to
understanding and assessing the impact that research has on
cognitive development and how it relates to behavior and
emotions in children and adults.
Psychological Experiment: Reading to a child will result in a
more extensive vocabulary.
Theory: Research shows that not only talking to your children
but reading to them increases their vocabulary states Professor
Dominic Massaro, (as cited in Fry, 2015). Developing mastery
over words expands grammatical understanding and is a strategy
for competent literacy skill (Fry, 2015).
Simple experiment: 3-years olds divided into a group with

books and a group without in separate area.
Independent Variable:
Group A is 3- year old children being read to by parents and
teacher utilizing books that describe objects and show scenes
being portrayed, increasing their knowledge and vocabulary
with new words.
Dependent Variables:
Group B parents talks to 3-year old children utilize day-to-day
language exchanges with parents, teachers and each other as
they look at picture books and talk about what they see.
Without guidance, these children will not understand the
importance of literacy or have an extensive vocabulary.
Observation 1:
The children in Group A are not only looking at and enjoying
the pictures in the book they are listening and following along
as the speakers read the text aloud. Professional parents who
are educated usually have an extensive vocabulary and provide
stimulating conversation and reading material.
Observation 2:
The children in Group B are using generalized communication
with each other, and the adults present by exchanging
conversation on topics about their, toys, people and pictures in
their surroundings. Parents education level may place a limit on
vocabulary as well as their socioeconomic status.
To control potential mistakes and confusion children are placed
in separate areas to be observed. Children in Group A are
placed in circle time where the choice of books are available,
and they are encouraged to choose a favorite to be read by a
nonconnected observer. Children in Group B are sat at a table
in a different room with another nonconnected observer and are

each asked to pick a book and talk about the story. Because
children are stimulated and repeat language they hear reading to
them opens a world of new words, language patterns and
meaning.
According to LeFrancois (2016), a step a researcher could take
to prevent bias is to make sure that whoever collects the
information or data is not aware of which group is the
experiment group and which is the test group. Another
prevention is to make sure that the subject is not aware that they
are a part of an experimental group (LeFrancois, 2016).
Eliminating bias in a controlled experiment ensures that an
accurate and trustworthy result is obtained and that the
objective is determined to be sound.
