Cognitive development in childhood and adolescence

Cognitive development in childhood and adolescence

Write an essay about cognitive development in childhood and adolescence. Select one aspect of cognitive development (i.e., the theory of mind, moral development, language development, egocentrism), and then explain how it develops across childhood and adolescence. You must include at least one theoretical framework for understanding cognitive development, and integrate at least three recent articles about your topic (within the last 5 years) to demonstrate current research and thinking in the field. For example, you may decide to select language development. You would need to introduce language development and at least one theory about how language develops. Then, you would explain how language development occurs in childhood and adolescence, making sure to highlight current research and thinking in the field, including citations throughout your paper to show that you are including evidence-based information. Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages
