Language acquisition

According to the nativist perspective, infants are born with special language systems which enable them to easily acquire language, through a language acquisition device (LAD). Studies of the Wild Boy of Aveyron support the idea that we must learn language during a critical period of our development. Learning theorists, however, believe that children learn language from the stimuli they are exposed to in their environment.

Introduction to Psychology

The Introduction to Psychology paper will require you to use your critical thinking skills and your writing ability to address a question of primary importance: How will you use psychology in your career? For example, how could psychology help you make decisions; stay motivated or improve your short-term memory. These are just two examples. You will need to determine what concepts best fit your career choice.

In order to be able to answer this question, you must be able to analyze and synthesize psychological concepts and be able to apply them to your speculations concerning your future career. In your paper, you will need to clearly identify your career and then explain how what you have learned in psychology will enhance your career.

You need to consider two concepts. The concepts you select must be from different chapters. When deciding what concepts to include, look at the Concept Map at the end of each chapter, and pick appropriate concepts. To be clear, you do not need two concepts from each of the chapters, you need a total of two concepts but they need to be from different chapters. Note, you must choose concepts, not broad topic areas. You are writing a paper, not a book so you need to make selections that are manageable. For example, trying to write about a topic as broad as “the brain,” would be too broad. You would need to narrow it down to specifics parts of the brain. Also, the different perspectives in psychology (e.g., behavioral, humanistic, psychoanalytical, neuropsychological, etc.,) are not concepts/topics. You need to be more specific.

Research some additional information given the topic you selected, and expand your understanding of how this perspective links with the psychology you know.
