PSY 205 Week 2 Scenario
Summary
Read the Week Two Scenario document.
Reflect on the factors in the scenario and how they could potentially affect Alexandra’s physical,
cognitive, and socioemotional development.
Summarize your findings in the table below.
Incorporate relevant details from the text to support your ideas, and include page numbers where these
details are in the text. Include an APA-formatted reference page to identify the source of your
information.
Physical development
Prenatal, infancy, Example: Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause a number of physical
and toddlerhood and neurological deficits (p. 89).
(pre-birth to 2
years)
A lack of physical activity (being left in a crib for long periods) is a risk
factor for many health problems, including slower growth of muscle tissue
and impairments in all domains of development. Muscle tissue already
increases slowly during infancy. (p. 121)
Breastfed babies are more likely to have less health problems, whereas
unbreastfed babies might experience more health issues such as ear
infections and colds. (p. 130)
In early childhood Motor development might be delayed in a child who is not given
(3 to 6 years) consistent care and attention by their caregiver. (p.137)
An active interest in your child can reduce the chance of them falling due
to their lack of knowledge when it comes to depth cues. (p. 142)
