Remember this is a course on human development (Please stay on topic). To help in your search here are some of the major areas we covered in this course (these are meant as a guide, not specific topics to find). 

· 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

With the major areas above in mind, focus on at least two of the following age groups:

· Childhood

· Adolescence

· Adulthood

· Older Adults

First, give an overview of each article, including:

· Write a 2-paragraph summary for each article.

· Write a 1 paragraph analysis and evaluation for each article found.

· Make sure to integrate course material in that analysis

Then, write a summary (1 page) integrating what was learned from the articles reviewed on the chosen age groups as seen from the life-span perspective. Cover the following in that summary:

· 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 may provide a way of better understanding the research reviewed.

· Please follow instructions, and format in APA.
