In 900 words outline your understandings of two distinct theories: Maturation theory and Learning theory. You need to select 2 theorists (i.e. Piaget & Vygotsky are both cognitive theorists and therefore only count as 1 theory.- if you discuss both these theorist it would only count as one theory for the purpose of this assignment and you would still need to discuss another theorist from of different theoretical approach (e.g Bandura from learning theory). Must answer what are the key aspects of their explanation of human development? Describe whether the theories are consistent with your observations of children and your own theory of development. Comment on any new understanding about theories of development as a result of your readings (e.g. refer to Crain, 2016 or other academic sources). CRITERIA The opening paragraph clearly identifies theories/theorists to be discussed. Key aspects of theories discussed outlining their explanation of development. Literature is used appropriately throughout to support points made. It is clear that references have been read in depth and the ideas are well integrated. Discussion includes reflection on how these theories are consistent with own theory of development and highlights any new understandings in relation to theories discussed. The reference list and the entire assignment are consistent with APA Style (7th edition).
