You will need to identify and obtain permission to assess (observe, interview, and
question) either a 4-6 OR 7-10 year old (let me know the name and phone
number of the individual giving permission to you).
While you should attempt to assess the child directly i.e., observational on-going
behavior, much information can be obtained from the parent(s) should you be
unable to make significant direct observations.
The best way to indicate that you understand basic concepts is to GIVE
EXAMPLES that you obtained directly from the child.
The form of your report: Limit your paper to 5-10 double-spaced pages using a
12-point font. You are to use third person (you are the examiner; the subject is
referred to by a fictitious name, or as the subject) and submit the paper by our
due date listed on the course calendar. Submission is electronic.
Supplementary documents (pictures, charts, etc) can either be scanned in or
submitted in class.
Components of your report (label them as you see here):
Include the age and education status of your subject; the number and ages of
members in his/her family; and the typical days activities (include activities and
food preferences). Describe unusual medical information here as well. Finally,
describe the process: e.g., the number of times you saw the child, where/when
you interviewed the parent(s), and so on. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO SUBMIT
THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER of the subjects parents indicating
permission for this evaluation.
All subjects will need to have presented to him/her the Piagetian Conservation
tasks; the evaluation of correct/incorrect conservation rationales needs to be
determined. (conservation, classification, seriation, and spatial reasoning).
Apply other related cognitive concepts from relevant chapters as well.
Most importantly, how does this task further your professional knowledge? Are
there components of this type of activity that you might use in your profession?
