Discussion Prompt 1
Infant Intelligence
Developmental researchers have taken an interest in measuring infant intelligence and exploring whether it is an effective predictor of academic intelligence later in life. What is your position on the matter? Do you believe that one’s intelligence as a baby will yield the same level of intelligence later in life? Use your knowledge about the factors that can influence infant brain development and your understanding of nature and nurture influences to support your answer. Support your reasoning with information from the text, other course materials, and these supplemental articles:
Discussion Prompt 2
Infant Emotional Stress
There is some debate regarding how often and how a parent should respond and soothe an infant who is emotionally distressed. Some claim that soothing an infant every time it cries may lead to developmental issues where others claim that it does not. Based on your own opinion and the research of developmental theorists, do you feel that repeatedly soothing an infant is beneficial or detrimental to development? Why or why not? What issues do developmental theorists claim may arise on either side of the debate? How might attachment theory fit into this debate? Support your reasoning with information from the text and other course materials.
each prompt should be more than 150 words

The Research Paper Topic Proposal
This week, you will submit your research topic proposal to your instructor for approval.
Begin by exploring topics in developmental psychology. Reference your textbook, the weekly introductions in your course, and reputable journal articles to explore topic ideas. Be sure to choose a topic that you are highly interested in. From that topic, you will pose a question for your research.
For example, you may find interest in the life span of adolescence. From there, you may want to explore issues related to adolescent suicide. From this topic you could pose a number of questions to research, such as:
How to Develop a Research Question
Your research question should enable you draw some unique conclusions so that you are not simply reporting on research that has already been concluded. You may have to do some preliminary research within your topic to determine a suitable question. Here are some examples.
This example is too broad and will likely lead to a confusing and disorganized paper. It lacks parameters.
Why do adolescents commit suicide?
This example is too narrow. It can be answered rather simply with some basic data.
How many adolescent suicides occurred last year?
A good research question specifies the parameters of the research, yet leaves room for analysis and the writers unique input.
What are some of the unique social factors that led to an increase in suicide rates among 13- to 18-year-old females in 2015?
(In your paper, you would define two to three social factors you deem significant and connect them with the appropriate physical, cognitive, and socioemotional occurrences happening during this part of life span development. Then, draw your own conclusions from the research you find.)
Once you have your research question, phrase it as a statement so that it can become your thesis statement. The thesis statement is what drives the direction of your paper.
