Does the ad contain any research-based evidence, or any evidence to substantiate its claims? If yes, what is the evidence?No, the ad does not contain any research-based evidence or any kind of evidence that is able to substantiate its claims.
What is the overall concept related to the claim in the ad? (e.g., to improve some aspect of development, to increase well-being, to change behaviours, etc.).
There are three general concepts associated to the claim in the ad. The first is that bright colors, textures and fun sounds that are exuded by the toy aid in the stimulation of the baby's senses. Secondly, there is the concept that the action reaction activity nurtures understanding of cause and effect as the child manages to discover how to make noise with the activity blocks. Lastly, there is the concept of fine motor skills. The claim made by the ad is that the product develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as the child grasps and interacts with the blocks. Therefore, in totality, the concept that is linked to the claim in the ad is that the product will aid in the development of the child.
Choose two theories that can be applied to explain the ad's claim and the overall concept that you interpreted from the claim made in the ad.
There are various children development theories that are applicable in the elucidation of the ad's claim and the aforementioned general concepts made in the ad. The two development theories that will be discussed in this particular section are the Theory of Cognitive Development and Multiple Intelligences...
This theory was developed by Jean Piaget, and it lays emphasis on predictable cognitive stages. In particular, Piaget asserted that cognition was dissimilar in the course of every stage of development. This theory includes four stages, which include the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete, and formal operations stages. To begin with, the sensorimotor stage occurs between birth and two years of age and in this phase the child utilizes all his or her senses to discover and learn. In this manner, experiences of the different senses and motor development give rise to cognitive development. The second phase is the preoperational phase that occurs between two years and seven years of age. In this phase, representational skills are developed, which consist of language skills, drawing and symbols. In addition, they can recognize groups of objects and place them sequentially (Goodheart-Willcox, 2004).
Third phase is the concrete operations. Here, a child develops the capability to have methodical thinking, but solely when they can allude to actual objects and use hand-on activities. The last phase is the formal operations phase, which occurs between the ages of eleven to the point of adulthood. In this phase, individuals do not rely on concrete examples in order to think. Thus, they attain reasoning and problem solving skills. Therefore, this theory substantiates the claim made in the ad. The ad shows that the product is reliable…
Interviews with his parents reveal a disturbing trend. His parents do not seem to want to challenge Christopher in any meaningful way and instead enable his lack of progress. Perhaps out of fear for his tantrums, Christopher's mother makes excuses for her son's behavior. The experiment of homeschooling Christopher has therefore been unproductive because he is not challenged, and therefore is not learning as much as he could be. His
Each day, thousands of New Yorkers experience violence at the hands of someone they love. But only a fraction of victims know where to get help" (p. 3). Moreover, many domestic violence victims are coerced by the perpetrators into not testifying against them. In this regard, Glaberson (2011) reports that, "The defendants in domestic violence cases are in constant contact with their victims, and they use various means and methods
CHILD'S DRAWING ABILITY Drawing complexity as the complexity or the level of difficulty involved in children's drawing. Drawings from younger children can be less simple with fewer features but as the age of the child progresses the complexity of the drawings increases due to the complex cognitive development. Drawings are mirror representation of the child's development. Children's drawings have significant roles in the cognitive development of the child. Other roles include
0%), cohabiting parents (61.8%), cohabiting stepparents (71.0%), and married stepparents (65.2-16%). Recall that when we consider all children, we find that the food insecurity rates are significantly lower for children living with married stepparents than for children with cohabiting parents or single-mother families. Finally, food insecurity rates are significantly lower for lower-income children living with their married biological/adoptive parents (46.8%) than for all other groups considered. The share of lower-income children who are
Title: Exploring the Unique Challenges and Experiences of Single Fathers Introduction Single fathers have long been overlooked in academic research and societal discussions about family dynamics. While single mothers have received considerable attention and support, single fathers often find themselves navigating parenthood without the same level of recognition or resources. However, recent studies have begun to shed light on the experiences and challenges faced by single fathers, highlighting the importance of understanding
Child Abuse "Although it is extremely important when interviewing children about alleged abuse to determine whether the abuse was single or repeated… we have little information about how children judge the frequency of events… [and] overall children were very accurate at judging the frequency of a single event, but much less so for repeated events." (Sharman, et al., 2011). Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) reports that in the year 2010
