[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length.

The extent to which typical development and learning difficulties are both integrally associated with this particular aspect of cognitive development is both grand and far-reaching; that each end of the learning spectrum can experience valiant success or miserable failure speaks directly to Sameroff's transactional model that contends parents have tremendous influence when it comes to shaping a child's cognitive development. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
