ECE 353 Week 1 Discussions 2 Genetic And
Biological Factors   Genetic and Biological
Factors. Genetic, biological, and environmental
factors are known to a have significant impact on
the development of all children, including
children with attention- deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), autism, dyslexia, and other
neurodevelopmental disorders. For children with
specific disorders, there are multiple genetic,
biological, and environmental factors that work
together to create a spectrum of neurobiological
symptoms. For many of these disorders there is
not a single cause but rather a number of
potential contributing factors that can
exacerbate and elucidate symptoms.

ECE 353 Week 1 DQ 2 Addressing Bias in
Intelligence Testing   Addressing Bias in
Intelligence Testing. Daniel, an eight-year-old
child from a poor, inner-city neighborhood, is
given a traditional IQ test. One section of the
IQ test involves defining various words. Yacht
is one of the words that Daniel is asked to
define. Briefly discuss why the test
administrator should be cautious when
interpreting Daniels performance on this test.
How does the triarchic theory potentially counter
this bias? Develop and share three questions, one
for each component of the triarchic theory
(analytic, creative, and practical), that would
provide a more accurate representation of
Daniels intelligence.

ECE 353 Week 2 Assignment How The Brain
Learns   How the Brain Learns. In Chapters 3 and
4 of your primary text, Farrar and Montgomery
discuss executive functioning and memory
development (2015), you learned about factors
that influence brain development. For this
assignment, you will build upon that knowledge by
further investigating how the brain learns.
Remember that working memory, attention, and
executive functions are interconnected and are
crucial to the learning process. This includes
the ability for a child to pay attention,
demonstrate inhibitory control, and goal-directed
behavior.

ECE 353 Week 2 Discussions 1 Brain
Development   now widely accepted that a childs
environment and early life experiences affect the
development, health, and structure of their
brain. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the
brain is its ability to change structurally and
functionally in response to external stimuli,
which is known as neuroplasticity. Watch the
video Neuroplasticity to learn more about this
concept (Sentis, 2012). Additionally, it is now
believed that positive and stimulating
environments promote healthy brain development.

ECE 353 Week 3 Discussions 1 Cognitive And
Conceptual Development   Cognitive and Conceptual
Development. Concepts are fundamental to human
cognition because of their use in many forms of
thinking, such as problem-solving,
categorization, and inductive inferences (Farrar
Montgomery, 2015, p. 186). To apply your
understanding of cognitive and conceptual
development, it is important to first understand
the three different theories of concept
development that are commonly used. Chapters 5 in
your primary text discuss the following theories
the classical view of conceptual development (the
ideas that all concepts are defined by a set of
necessary and sufficient features), prototype or
probabilistic view (concepts are compared to a
prototype based on family resemblance or
similarity),

ECE 353 Week 3 Discussions 2 Theory Of
Mind   Theory of Mind. Theory of Mind is a theory
of psychological and developmental roots that is
defined by the ability of a child to attribute
mental states such as beliefs, feelings,
knowledge, thoughts, intents to oneself and
others and to understand that others have beliefs
and feelings that are different than ones own.
The diagram below represents the five
foundational components of theory of mind that
emerge between ages 2 and 5 that were shared in
Chapter 6 of our course text,Cognitive
development of children Research and application
. Understanding this developmental sequence is
critical in being able to support children as
they grow and develop cognitively.

ECE 353 Week 4 Discussions 1 Problem Solving And
Reasoning   Problem Solving and Reasoning. There
are many ways in which cultural differences
impact cognitive development. One of the areas in
which we see the impact relating to cultural
differences is with the development of reasoning
and problem solving skills as is discussed in
Chapter 8 of our textbook. Because our habits of
mind are influenced by our cultural and
historical circumstances, the decision- making
strategies that we seek to promote in students
reflect our own culture (Brenner Parks, 2001).

ECE 353 Week 4 Discussions 2 Relationships
Between Cognitive, Language, And Motor
Development   Relationships Between Cognitive,
Language, and Motor Development. Cognitive,
language, and motor skills are often thought to
be closely interrelated developmental areas,
because as children develop in these domains,
they appear to demonstrate correlated
developmental pathways. For this discussion you
will need to choose one age group from the chart
below and review all three videos for the age
group you choose. After watching Pollacks (n.d.)
videos, address the points listed below. Before
responding to this discussion, review the Week

ECE 353 Week 4 DQ 2 False Belief Tasks   False
Belief Tasks. According to your text, the gold
standard that researchers use to demonstrate
understanding of belief is success on tasks that
require understanding of ones own or another
persons false belief (Siegler, 2005, pg. 318).
Young children often fail false belief tasks.
This finding has been interpreted in a number of
different ways. Give an original example of a
false belief task that could be given to a
three-year-old (do not use an example from the
text). Describe an interpretation of childrens
poor performance on false belief tasks. Provide
at least two factors that can enhance the
performance of students on false belief tasks.

ECE 353 Week 5 Discussions 1 Cognitive
Development And Learning   Cognitive Development
and Learning. Formal schooling plays a large role
helping children to develop cognitively. Along
with their home and social environments,
experiences in school continue to foster
childrens development of cognitive skills and
strategies. In school, children learn new ideas,
concepts, skills and are provided with the
opportunity to engage in activities where they
can explore and experiment. For this discussion,
you will begin by reviewing one of the videos
below. Before responding to this discussion,
review the Week Five Instructor Guidance for
additional information, resources, and support.

Development   Intellectual Development. Educators
in the United States public school classroom
often work with children of varying levels of
ability. Children in your classroom may have
Individualized Education Plans (IEP) that require
specific accommodations and modifications. As
part of the process of an IEP, a school
psychologist evaluates the childs intellectual
functioning using a variety of intellectual and
achievement tests. Once the IEP meeting takes
place, various providers (including possibly
speech therapy and occupational therapy)

ECE 353 Week 5 DQ 1 Planning in Problem
Solving   Planning in Problem Solving. Young
children often fail to plan, even when doing so
would facilitate their problem-solving
performance. Select and describe one of the five
reasons that children may fail to plan given on
pages 357-358 of your text. Construct a
classroom-based scenario that illustrates your
chosen reason. What is the implication of your
reason when considering the differing needs of
students while planning for classroom
instruction? What is one strategy that teachers
can use to mediate the effects of these failures
and support the problem-solving skills of their
young students?

ECE 353 Week 5 Final Project Professional
Development Experience (2 PPT)   Professional
Development Experience. Being an effective early
childhood professional requires more than a
passion for teaching or ability to work well with
children. In the first five years of life, the
most critical skills are formed by creating
synaptic connections that are key to cognitive,
social, physical, and emotional development.
Because of their developmental stage, the
environment you provide as an early educator will
set the foundation for each childs K- 12
learning experience and beyond.
