What’s going on in there?
The brain is a marvelous structure containing billions of cells making trillions of connections so that we may think, act, and feel. One might ask, “What’s going on in there?” And the response is, “A lot!” Students from a biological psychology course will present current empirical evidence about the brain on topics such as dreaming, attraction, touch insensitivity, smell, dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and marijuana use.

Child Development Case Studies: Vulpix vs. Michael
For a child development and psychology class, we each performed an eight-week case study research project in order to identify the development of two seven-year-old children, one boy and one girl, and compare the rate at which they are developing to the average seven-year-old. The goal of the case study was to observe and assess the development of said children in five categories: cognitive development, physical development, social development, moral and spiritual development, and identity development. The methods we used for data collection included interviewing the subject, their parents, and their teachers; observing them at school and during their soccer games, performing a series of short test assessments on the two of them, and gathering extant data from their schooling thus far. According to the data, Michael and Vulpix appear to be developing at relatively good paces for their age with Vulpix only needing improvement in some of her cognitive development. Recommendations include continuing to maintain healthy lifestyles and helping them learn that education is valuable. All in all, this case study helped us observe and compare the average seven-year-old boy and girl in their stages of development.
