Purpose of Project:

A strength of a good family scientist is to be able to translate cutting-edge family science research into content that is understandable and useful to the general population. This assignment will help students accomplish this, as they will be taking a body of knowledge on a specific topic related to parenting across the lifespan and preparing a brief fictional workshop based on this content.

Overview of Project:

Students will work individually to design and present a brief parenting workshop on parenting across the lifespan. Students will pick a specific age groupand discuss specific developmental domain of their chosen age. The goal of the workshop will be to train parents on specific ways they can optimize development within that particular domain for that particular age group.

Phase 1: Literature Review

Eachstudent will prepare a literature review paper on their assigned subtopic which will serve as background research for their portion of the workshop. The literature review will include at least 5 peer-reviewed research journal articles and will involve summarizing and synthesizing current research on the topic and incorporating appropriate theories into their synthesis. Research articles must be related to the specific topic and age group that each student is assigned toand must befrom within the last 10 years. Students will not receive credit for articles that do not meet these minimum guidelines. If you are in doubt about the appropriateness of an article, ask the instructor before you include it in your paper. Use the textbook as an additional reference, especially when describing your theoretical framework, but still need an additional 5 peer-reviewed journal articles.

Please make headers to keep organized. Ex: Summaries, Introduction of Theoretical Frameworks, and then a Synthesis of Article (see these listed below in the rubric). Then talk about each of the 5 articles and the textbook within each of the headers.

Summary should be 1st level header then purpose, methods, etc should be 2nd level headers

Grading Rubric for Phase 1:

Summary of each research journal article (Including purpose, methods, theoretical framework, key findings, and implications for parenting. A screenshot of the first page is also included at the end of the paper) (6 points per article)

This assignment will help you think about how learning happens in all organisms and how the basic behavioristic ideas are applicable to everyday situations.Please refer back to your textbook(see attachment) and watch the following video( http://searchcenter.intelecomonline.net/playClipDirect.aspxid=9A7254EDA56D7686053DBA312E3D21537025A9F7614917EA15BACA15C59F8408EAF3261B948C2EA2 ) called. Use the information from these two sources to write a well-organized answer (2-3 paragraphs) to the following prompt. What type of learning do the following examples illustrate? If your answer is classical conditioning, name the US, UR, CS and CR, and state whether there is any higher-order conditioning involved. If your answer is operant conditioning, name the schedule of reinforcement. One year, a UCLA student spent his entire summer feeding birds at the Coliseum (where cross town rival USC plays football) wearing a black and white striped shirt, and blowing a whistle. On the day of the first USC game, the referee walked onto the field and blew his whistle. The game had to be delayed for an hour until the birds were cleared from the field. In Bombay, the buses seem to operate on the luck of the draw. Some days they come as soon as you get to the bus stop. Other days you have to wait a long time. On days when the bus drivers are on strike, people wait for a very long time before they tire and take another mode of transportation home.
