Chapter 3 Reading Prep Work
The purpose of this weekly work is to help you recall and articulate class
concepts, and to build deep understanding, long-term memory, and personal
connections with the concepts. Write 4-5 sentence responses to these questions,
and bring your work to class (either printed out, or be able to pull your work up
electronically). This work is due in D2L Brightspace the night before class each
week.
Grading:
Written (5 points): Full responses that show in-depth understanding, rewording
of the concepts into your own words, and strong connections of the content with
your own experience.
In-class (5-points): Attendance and full participation discussing the concepts and
your responses with a small group of peers, as well as participating in class
activities that day.
1. Describe - or draw - basic components of the nervous system. At
minimum, include these six terms: axon, dendrite, myelin,
neurotransmitter, cerebral cortex, hemispheres.
2. Consider a young person's motor skill development. It can be your own
child, a child in your life, or yourself (if you have an older family member
who remembers these). Talk about their motor skill milestones using
terminology that the authors use, and refer to dynamic systems theory.
3. Talk about the development (or research study) of depth perception in
infants in 4-5 sentences of detail. You can describe cues that infants use
to figure out and perceive depth, or the kind of research studies done with
depth perception. Your writing should include at least 2 terms from the
Depth section of our textbook on pages 81-82.
4. Find a Theory of Mind (TOM) false-belief test video online (or try one out
in person if you have a preschooler in your life!). Describe the test, the age
of the participant, and the results. How does that compare with the
textbook information?

DISCUSSION: In this discussion, reflect upon and discuss ONE of the following questions: Q1: What are the pros and cons of receiving prenatal screening tests? Why might some mothers decide not to have these tests? Q2: As medical technology continues to improve, a person may have the opportunity to "design" their own baby. Do you believe this is ethical? Why or why not? • STEP 1: First, BY 11:59 PM WEDNESDAY write a response with AT LEAST 10 substantial sentences, integrating concepts you learned from the reading and other materials (include links when necessary). Show that you can think critically on the topic by integrating your own thoughts, analysis, or experiences. STEP 2: Return to the discussion to comment on at least TWO classmates' posts (in at least FIVE sentences). Expand on a classmate's comments in a value-adding, topic-related way. Promote a collaborative, supportive community, and advance the dialogue through follow-up questions. Reply posts cannot be one-liners, off-topic posts, vague statements, unsupported opinions, inadequate explanations or simply saying, "I agree" or "good job." Also, remember to respond to all those who respond to you. Thanks. Dan Paxton
