Cognitive Maltreatment and Neural Development

Chapter 5 of the course textbook discusses the brain development of the child in early life as well as the impact of accidents and maltreatment. The required article by Perry (2009) illustrates and defends an approach to child maltreatment based on neurodevelopmental analysis that seeks to understand and treat abuse victims with reference to the areas of the brain affected.

Based on these readings, account for or respond to each of the following in your initial post:

· Analyze the findings of the Perry study, addressing the strengths and shortcomings of the neurodevelopmental approach. Are there limits to this sort of approach, and if so, what alternative approach might add something to a neurobiological analysis?

· Offer a real life experience, alternative study, or recent news report that in some way illustrates or casts light upon Perry’s findings.

Introduction: Cognitive Development from Middle Childhood throughout Early Adulthood

This week will focus on cognitive and language development and intelligence throughout the lifespan. Subject matter includes, but is not limited to, cognitive development; issues in education; and measurements for aptitude, intelligence, memory, and communication disorders.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this week, students will be able to:

1. Analyze cognitive development during childhood and adolescence, incorporating the types of learning disabilities that can occur together with understanding the essence of the Individuals with the Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), No Child Left Behind (NCLB), and the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) federal laws. (Aligns with CLOs 1, 2, 3, 6)

2. Describe the differences among major cognitive theories of development with emphasis on how they are applied in practice. (Aligns with CLOs 1, 2, 3, 4)

3. Analyze the impact on the developing child’s brain from early abuse and neglect. (Aligns with CLOs 1, 2, 3)
