This  course has been about the changes that take place as we move from  childhood to adolescence. Now it's time to bring some of that  information together, so that you can consider human growth and  development in context.

Think  about the 6-year-old you and the 16-year-old you. Consider the domain  categories of physical, social/emotional, and cognitive changes. What  things are very different? What things are very much the same?   Now  consider the 16-year-old you and the current you. Consider domain  categories of physical, social/emotional, and cognitive changes. What  things are very different? What things are very much the same?  

What  theories help to explain these similarities and differences? Be specific  with the aspects of the theories you feel best apply to these. Clearly  connect specific aspects of theories to the examples that you provide.  

IMPORTANT: Please use the attached Word table for your answers. Expand the table as needed.

• Give  multiple examples (2-3) of development in each of the 3 domain  categories for your 6-year-old self and for your 16-year-old self.
• Identify and explain the similarities and differences between the 6- and 16-year-old you.
• Identify and explain the differences between the 16-year-old you and the current you.
• Using  at least 75-100 words, describe which theory or theories explain these  changes and how.  Clearly connect specific aspects of theories to the  examples that you provide.
