Task:  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your task is to select <\/span>one<\/u><\/span> <\/span>of the following essay prompts and provide a 2000-word answer. These essay questions are based around the developmental conditions you will learn about in lectures. They all focus on the theoretical foundations and\/or brain basis of the discussed condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

This assessment will examine your understanding of <\/span>theoretical models of atypical development<\/i>. Theoretical knowledge can be vital for informing interventions and for daily work with individuals with developmental conditions or differences. This is also a helpful exercise in preparation for your dissertation, where you may have to consider multiple explanations (models) for an effect or condition. The assessment will test your ability to provide a clear, coherent and logical answer to a complex question and test your ability to provide relevant supporting evidence in a selective manner. It will also assess your ability to critically analyse and evaluate the evidence you present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested reading<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend that most preparatory reading is of original papers in journals. Textbooks can be a useful starting place to get a general overview of an area, but they may be dated and so not contain such up-to-date information – so if you do use textbooks, make sure you make journal papers your primary resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that the papers below are intended just as a good <\/span>starting point<\/em> <\/span>for this assignment. <\/span>Some of them are old but they were monumentally impactful in their time and\/or contain some good explanations which will give you a good foundation to understand the topics of these essay questions. A good mark requires that you read broadly beyond these, and that you read up to date papers (last 3-4 years) to examine whether these findings\/arguments have stood the test of time. The lecturers will mention additional papers in their lectures.<\/span><\/p>\n
