Child and young person development Task 2 – Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. The sequence of development is the order in which development takes place. Although some stages of development may be missed (for example some babies do not crawl and go straight from shuffling to walking) the sequence is usually followed by children and the order usually remains the same. The rate of development is the time-frame given

children develop from infants to teens to adults they go through a series of developmental stages. Aspects of a child and young person’s development include: • Physical development‚ • Social and emotional development‚ • Intellectual development‚ • Language development. It is very important to understand how children develop and to know that all areas of development are equally as important as each other. Children develop at a different rate‚ so it’s impossible to tell exactly when a child will learn

Describe three brain-imaging techniques and explain what the literature tells us about the function and structure of the brain. This essay is going to describe three different types of brain-imaging techniques. It will also explain what the literature tells us about the function and the structure of the brain. The three types of brain-imaging techniques that will be clearly described are; CT (computed tomography)‚ PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Brain-imaging

There are three major brain divisions. They are the cerebrum‚ the brainstem‚ and the cerebellum. The cerebrum contains 40% of the weight of the brain and is founded in the superior part of the brain. This portion of the brain has many functions and lobes which perform certain functions. The frontal lobe is involved with “activating and controlling both fine and complex motor activities.” This involves speech. It is also involved with the executive functions‚ such as reasoning and rationalizing‚ among

Premature babies generally take longer to meet the early development milestones‚ Newborn babies spend more time sleeping than being awake.

For a “normal” person if they hurt someone that person’s distress becomes their pain‚ however this doesn’t happen with psychopaths. “It stuns me‚ as much as it did when I started 40 years ago‚ that it is possible to have people who are so emotionally disconnected that they can function as if other people are objects to be manipulated and destroyed without any concern‚” says Professor Robert Hare who is a criminal psychologist. When people think of a psychopath they often think of brutal killers
