write a summary (1-2 pages) of what you learned from your research on the different age groups (including week 3 age groups) as seen from the life-span perspective. To assist in the development of this summary answer the following questions:

After reviewing the current research in the various age groups what similarities did you find in the types of research and what was being studied? What differences did you find?

Based on your course readings what developmental theories did you find that were applicable?

Explain how the life-span perspective provides a way of better understanding the research reviewed.

Age Groups:early childhood, late childhood, adolescence, adulthood, older adults. discuss these differences

Major developmental theories across the lifespan

Nature of geographic, gender, social, cognitive, emotional, and developmental factors during each period of development

Developmental factors that impact one another.

Historical and current trends in development

Current trends which may differentially impact the future development of populations in the United States

Social, and diversity issues related to developmental psychology

Make sure you choose an experiment and not some other kind of study. Based on your finding an experiment, answer the following questions in a short paper:
What is/are the independent variable(s)?
What is/are the dependent variable(s)?
Can you identify any extraneous and/or nuisance variables?
What are the operational definitions of the independent and dependent variables?
What type of independent variable did the experimenter(s) manipulate?
How was the dependent variable measured or recorded?
Was the dependent variable recorded using reactive or nonreactive measures?
Did the experimenter employ any techniques to control extraneous variables?
Did you detect any potential threats to the internal validity of the experiment?
