For this assignment, you will need to find a research article related to some aspect of developmental psychology. Developmental research articles can be found in journals such as Child Development, Developmental Psychology, Infant Behavior and Development, and the Merrill-Palmer Quarterly. The articles should have infants or children as the focus and date from 2000 to the present. It must also be a research article; that is, it should present data and not just be an overview of a particular area.

You will need to hand in a copy of the article and a short summary. Your description of the study should include the purpose of the study and its hypothesis, the type of developmental research design (cross sectional, longitudinal, cross sequential, or one age group), the number and age of the subjects, the methods employed, and a brief summary of the main findings.

In other words, make sure to answer the following questions:
1. What question did the author(s) investigate?
2. How did they investigate it?
3. What did they find?
4. What could this mean?
5. How does this study relate to what you learned in class or in the book?
