Sensitive Periods Sensitive periods‚ refers to times in our lives when we are biologically primed to respond to certain influences in our environment. Montessori believed that the most critical times were from infancy to the age of 6. She believed that the period was transient‚ and limited to acquiring a particular trait. Once acquired‚ the specific sensibility disappeared. Sensitive periods are critical for growth and development. They allow the child to connect with the environment

A researcher thinks that if expectant mothers use vitamin pills‚ the birth weight of the babies will increase. The average birth weight of the population is 3.0kg. b.

It is still being debated to on exactly when did the ancestor of our species began to walk on two legs. One hypothesis relies on a 6-7 million year old skull of Sahelanthropus tchadensis. The skull was discovered in the Djurab Desert in Chad. Since only the skull was discovered‚ it is still unclear on how Sahelanthropus tchadensis fits in our evolutionary

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY LESSON 20: PRINCIPLE OF HYPOTHESIS TESTING So far we have talked about estimating a confidence interval along with the probability (the confidence level) that the true population statistic lies within this interval under repeated sampling. We now examine the principles of statistical inference to hypotheses testing. By the end of this chapter you should be able to • Understand what is hypothesis testing • Examine issues relating to the determination of level of How is this
