Psychology

Today we will use the psychology databases to locate scholarly, peer-reviewed and empirical articles on developmental psychology. You will:

1.  locate, read, and save one article 
2. work in groups and present the findings of one article to the class

• Prenatal
• Babies (birth to 12 months)
• Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
• Preschool (3 to 5 years)
• Grade school (5 to 12 years)
• Teen (12 to 18 years)
• Emerging adulthood

When searching for information regarding these age groups, you might use synonyms for the above words. Example:  adolescent rather than teen. Infant rather than baby. The term "early childhood" might also be a search term of use.
