Developing Through The Life Span

This chapter was very interesting. A lot of it was stuff I already knew but it went way in depth. We go through life sometimes without even realizing what is happening. I mean one day I am a little kid playing with barbies and the next I am a senior in high school. I have a lot of friends that tell me to enjoy high school while I can. Even though I want out so bad, They said no matter what I will misss it when it is gone. This year this has really hit me. College next year then what? It is so hard to wrap my mind around. It is a weird feeling I guess.
Some interesting things I found in this chapter were things like Piaget's test. How children 6-7 years old are to young to perform mental operations. I found this interesting and I tested it.

My younger brother,Riley, is 9 years old and I tested this on him. I used 2 of the same sized glasses and filled them half way with water. When I asked Riley which had more he said that they were equal. So I poured one into a wider glass, so the water level was about half the original. I did this with him watching. When I asked him Which had more he said the Wider glass did. I found this interesting. I repeated the stage about 5 times before I had to tell him the secret.
My younger sister Kendra is 12. I did the same thing with Kendra and she was confused by the question.
When I asked both my parents they comprehended it just fine and said that they were equal.
I found this all very interesting. On how the brain develops with age.
Harlow's monkey test was very interesting also. It kind of fits with the Nature vs Nurture Cahp. on how the monkey reacted with comfort of the cloth covered fake mother. And how he reacted to the plain wire mother. It shows we need nurture and comfort in our lifes to develop coinfidently.
This Chapter was cool to read. I liked learning how we all develope over time. Through out our entire life we are changing whether we know it or not.
