Prenatal Development and the Newborn
During the prenatal period, amazing sequences of events take place. Although fetal development occurs in a highly protected environment, many factors can affect prenatal development. The focus of this discussion is on the effects some of these factors have on the prenatal period and on the birth process, including possible birth complications. Once born, newborn infants have a remarkable set of capacities that are crucial for survival and for evoking adult attention and care (Berk, 2022). Considering the development listed above, please respond to the following:
Imagine that you are providing advice to expectant parents. If you had to provide advice on one specific teratogen to avoid and one specific maternal factor to consider, which ones would you describe to the expectant parents and why?
Some infants experience birth complications. Describe an example of a birth complication, including the possible impact the complication may have on fetal or infant development.
Newborns are competent little beings, interacting with their environment from birth. Which of the newborn’s capacities discussed in Chapter 4 of the textbook surprised you most?

Operational definitions will be essential as you clearly define the concepts on which your research is focusing. Select eight terms or phrases that you plan to use in your work and write operational definitions for them. For each, provide a list of at least three literary resources you consulted to formulate these definitions.

NSTRUCTIONS
General Overview: As the final project for this course, you will be creating a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human subject research for this project. It is not necessary for the purposes of this assignment. All human subject research requires written approval from the AU Institutional Review Board in order to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects. This assessment will help you recognize the value of research in psychology and the value of supporting your claims with established views and research.Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed for this Milestone 1 assignment: Provide the research question that your research paper will be attempting to explore. In other words, create a question that you could answer through research. Explain why you are interested in researching this topic; why is it important?.
List five (5) sources in APA format (this should also include the link you retrieved them from) and briefly (in a couple of sentences) explain how each article connects to your research question (this does not have to be too detailed. The article summaries will be done in Milestone 2) -For the selection of your five (5) articles, use PsycINFO or PsycARICLES. Your articles MUST be:Peer Reviewed (a. limit your search to “peer-reviewed” and b. check to see that the journal itself is peer reviewed by looking at their website-it will always be noted)
The articles MUST be of standard length (do not use a brief report or an abstract)
The articles MUST contain a research study that was conducted (e.g. have Methods and Results sections)
Guidelines for Submission: You will upload the paper as a Word document to Blackboard for grading and feedback. Please see the feedback provided by your professor in course. To help you with this Milestone even further, review the following instructions:- A research question might look like this “is there a relationship between individuals’ personality traits (e.g. agreeableness) and volunteering?” To create your own research question, consider the following example formats (you can choose to use any of them or use something else):What is the relationship between ________ and _____?
Does _______ increase the likelihood that _____ will happen?
Does _______ decrease the likelihood that _____ will happen?
How does _________ happen?

This paper is a culmination of what you have learned in Units 1-7. For this paper, you will select two different types of counselors that were reviewed in Unit 1. Please select the two you are most drawn for your future career. For each counselor type chosen, please identify the types of clients you would be working with, what approach(es) you would take to serve that client population. 

Research Critique – The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to analyze the scientific quality and merit of a published study. 
Elements of the project:
1. Identify an area of research that you would like to focus on. 
2. Select a scientific article to critique. If you have any difficulty finding one, contact your professor and/or review the library guide. The article should be clinically relevant and no more than five years old. Do not choose a brief report or a short study (i.e. should be more than 5 pages). Meta-analyses are allowed but not recommended due to the added complexity. 
3. Your research critique will focus on your article of interest. Remember to focus on critiquing the article based on what you have learned in class, not just providing a summary of what the article’s authors wrote. It consists of three parts:
Critique paper (see Rubric for full grading details). Please utilize section headers outlined in the rubric.
Submit the original article.
A presentation of the article and research findings: Plan for ~5-7 minutes per person.
Notes: The majority of your critique should be written in your own words, with minimal quotations. Be sure to cite as necessary, per university and ethical guidelines.
Be sure to focus on using the concepts and information from the course to evaluate the article. The majority of your critique should be your own thoughts and evaluations (be sure you provide analysis for all summarized information).
You will need to provide information from the article to support your claims. For example, statements such as “the study demonstrated good internal validity” require you to provide a brief summary of the aspects of the study that you are using to draw this conclusion.
You may also want to discuss what information is not included in the article and how that affects your evaluation (e.g. “The authors did not include a description of the recruitment techniques used for this study, which affects…”).
