Diagnosis Of Depression In Early Childhood

Question

Diagnosis of Depression in Early Childhood Choose a topic in Child Psychology – there are no other guidelines, except that the topic must concern some aspect of development (social, cognitive, physical) during the period of the life span between infancy and middle childhood. Narrow your topic to, for example, diagnosis of autism in early childhood, or treatment strategies. You will then formulate a research question. Find at least THREE PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH ARTICLES that apply to your topic. You MUST identify these articles through the library databases, such as PsychInfo or Academic Search Complete. You may NOT use a google, yahoo, or any other general internet search. You MUST use research articles (i.e., articles that present the results of a research study). You may NOT use general opinion articles, theoretical articles, or any other type of articles. You may NOT use newspaper, magazine, blog, or any other type of non-peer-reviewed article. These articles must have been published in the last 10 years. Using the 3 research articles, you will create a 15-20 minute PowerPoint presentation discussing your topic. State your research question, and describe the 3 research studies (What was their hypothesis? Summarize the sample, methods, and findings). End with a conclusion that includes a summary of your findings, any strengths and weaknesses in the literature, and future directions. Please also include a practical application of the research (e.g., better understanding and treatment of your chosen developmental disorder, application to social or personal issues, etc.). You will also need a title slide and a references slide, formatted in APA (please see the example, with voiceover instructions, on Blackboard). You should have a minimum of 10 slides in your presentation but will most likely need more. Be sure to avoid the common pitfall of putting too much text on your slides – most information should be in bullet points, or visual such as graphs or videos, with you
