nurture could have had an influence. Taking the exact same experiment, both trials, and replicating them with toddlers from a low socioeconomic status and comparing them to a group of toddlers from a high socioeconomic status could determine whether the development of higher function learning or cognitive abilities are in fact innate (therefore due to nature) or whether being exposed to certain things, whether its a physical environment or academic one (nurture)) could alter the results or have any influence at all. Although it is difficult to guess what the results could be, it would be fascinating to find out if there could be any influence or difference at all.
Toddlerhood...
It is one that essentially marks the rest of someones development and it is important for the correct milestones to be reached at this time. This experiment not only demonstrated how much a toddler is capable of, but how these capabilities come at such an early and young age. Things that were believed to develop later on in toddlerhood (Bauer et al. 1999) actually has the potential of developing in earlier months. This gives parents the ability know what their children are capable of and gives the toddler a sense of independence from an earlier age. This study made the conclusions clear that toddlers find a means to an end in which ever…
Future research that could be done as an addendum to this study could be what was considered to be the flaw in this one. It would be interesting to find out if nature vs. nurture could have had an influence.

Toddlerhood is a very important time for any human being. It is one that essentially marks the rest of someones development and it is important for the correct milestones to be reached at this time. This experiment not only demonstrated how much a toddler is capable of, but how these capabilities come at such an early and young age. Things that were believed to develop later on in toddlerhood (Bauer et al. 1999) actually has the potential of developing in earlier months. This gives parents the ability know what their children are capable of and gives the toddler a sense of independence from an earlier age. This study made the conclusions clear that toddlers find a means to an end in which ever way they can.
Discussion
Factors that Contribute to Obesity in Later Life Studies indicate that children that are breast feed have a lower rate of obesity (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, NDI). There are various theories to explain this phenomenon. Bottle formulas expose children to complex sugars and fats which predispose them to weight gain later on in life. Breast feeding may promote healthier eating habits because breast fed infants may eat until
Toddler's Dilemma Part of the evolution of toddlerhood is the establishment of an independent identity for the child. Physically, the child becomes more independent and capable of physical exploration. The child can walk, crawl, jump, and inspect the world around him or her. However, in addition to this new freedom there is also new awareness of the need for attachment. The child will engage in hugging, clinging, and other behaviors
Language Development in Young Children Early Childhood and Literacy Language is a physical link of a child to his outside world. Language acquisition is essential for a child's social, physical and cognitive development. It plays a vital role in developing an individual who would be able to express himself adequately to his family, friends and the world around him. A vast majority of the children can develop linguistic skills effortlessly, whereas some
Erik Erikson: The Eight Stages of Development Biography Although not as famous as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson was no less influential in the development of 20th century psychology. Like Freud, Erikson viewed human beings as developing through a series of 'stages,' but he broke with Freud in terms of his emphasis on social development, versus sexual development. Erikson was the first major theorist to question Freud's emphasis on the Oedipus Complex and
Cognitive Development Children are complex creatures who develop in various ways at various developmental stages. According to Thompson (2001), children grow in four interrelated areas (body, person, mind, and brain), and these four components involve the complex interplay of many factors: physical size, motor coordination, general health, thinking, language, symbolism, concepts, problem-solving, relationships, social understanding, emotions, neural and synapse. With respect to overall cognitive development in infants and toddlers, while
This will present a break from the norm set by most researchers who concentrate on studying the relationship between a child's ability and development, and the actions and environment surrounding the child. For instance, the study conducted by Berger and Adolph just considers how changing the size of the bridge makes a child to adopt a different strategy (using the handrail) in crossing the bridge but does not asses
