Assignment 7 here already!

Assignment 7 is meant to be a fairly short assignment, which is really a nature/nurture discussion on child development.  Well, not quite but nature nurture comes into it.  The first bit requires you to outline (what's this?) psychological theories of imprinting, then temperament.  You can find just about all you need for that in the Focus book.  Just remember the KISS principle!

The second part wants a description of Klaus and Kennell's research followed by an evaluation.  You really need to have been at the lesson for that, but here is a link to the notes we used in class.

The third part asks for a nature nurture discussion on the first two parts.  Basically, imprinting is nature, temperament could be both (and say why!) and Klaus and Kennell is nurture (and say why.)  Don't kill yourselves over it, because Assignment 8 will be along soon and that will be a bit more challenging.

So have a nice cup of tea now...

Oh, to hell with it, go for the biggie...

PS, congratulations to those who've had successful interviews.
