Answer
Question Sir Frederic Bartlett continued Piaget's studies into the Schema Theory through an experiment that introduced people of Western culture to a Native American folk tale. The tale was different to many stories that the audience had heard before. In this story a man's face contorts at the result of an encounter with supernatural beings. The people undertaking the experiment were then asked at different intervals in time, ranging from immediately after reading it to a year later, to draw a diagram of what the face looked like (being mindful of the context and language used in the story). Bartlett had found that:

Question In Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory there are three elements that make up a person's cognition. Match each of these with the descriptions provided. [blank_start]The Id[blank_end]: The instinctive, selfish and impulsive thought which is the first stage of thought in an infant. It is linked to an individual's basic needs.

Question The concept of 'Childhood' was not developed until the 17th century, before which children were dressed and treated as adults in many cultures, with the same duties and responsibilities. This concept of childhood recognised the innocence of children and the distinct difference in behaviour between themselves and adults.
Question The developmental stage of 'Adolescence' was acknowledged by theorists in the 17th century and was described as the period of an individuals life between the ages of roughly 12 years old (pre-pubescent) and 25 years old.
Question 'Emerging Adulthood' is one of the more recently defined developmental stages being used by theorists, and is described as the time from 18 to 25 years when a person is exploring their identity, relationships, financial stability, independence, psychological needs, and so on.
Question 'Middle Age' is a developmental stage that emerged in the 20th century.

Question What are the three goals of studying development?
Answer
Question Theories of development and developmental stages are tested in the hopes that they not only describe how we change as humans over time, but also how these stages can be optimised to encourage positive growth. The three goals of studying development are description, explanation and optimisation. Match each of the following definitions with their corresponding goal: [blank_start]Explanation[blank_end] - The developmental stages theorised are either typical to development or are individually different dependant on who they are applied to. This goal discusses theory universality and WHY developmental stages either do or do not apply to real life. [blank_start]Description[blank_end] - This goal recognises specific developmental stages and how they are applied to individuals. [blank_start]Optimisation[blank_end] - This goal recognises the stages of development that people undertake, and hence aims to devise ways that these stages may be used to encourage the best possible development in people.

Question Match each of the following methods of experimentation with their descriptions. [blank_start]The Correlation Method[blank_end]: Aims to discover whether two variables are related in a systematic fashion. For example, the correlation between a child's viewing of violent TV shows and their level of aggressive behaviour 15 years later as an adult. [blank_start]Cross-Sectional Design[blank_end]: Explores the performance of and provides a comparison for different cohorts or age groups who complete the same experiment. E.g. a 5 year old and a 15 year old complete the same puzzle in a test to compare the differences in their cognitive abilities. [blank_start]Longitudinal Design[blank_end]: One cohort repeat a study over time, for example a memory test is administered to Year 12 students every 2 months to measure changes over time in the same age group. These studies tend to be time consuming, as participants must be contacted at each interval of the testing. [blank_start]Sequential Design[blank_end]: A combination of the cross sectional and longitudinal design, where a wide range of participants from different age ranges/cohorts undertake a study on multiple occasions. These tests are generally time consuming and can be expensive, but are proven to be the most effective at collecting accurate or useful data.
