Development phases
Select ONE phase of development (i.e. childhood, infancy, adolescence, middle age, older adulthood). Discuss the role of culture on cognition during this phase of development. For example, you might discuss how parental scaffolding in Western societies influences a child’s cognitive development or you might discuss how cultural views of wisdom effects the well being of older adults. Discuss why it is important to take cultural differences into consideration when assessing the cognition of individuals during the specific phase of development you selected.
