Research question ideas for Physical & Cognitive Development in Infancy.

zarkam21:

@Shadow

zarkam21:

Is this good: Does using the bottle till late increase your chances of having more cognitive or physical setbacks?

Shadow:

till late is vague

zarkam21:

okay so maybe

Shadow:

https://cirt.gcu.edu/research/developmentresources/tutorials/question "Questions that can be answered with a "yes" or a "no" should also typically be avoided."

Shadow:

This question can be answered with a yes or no.

Shadow:

That site actually has some good tips. I would recommend scrolling to the bottom and viewing the questions don't work and those that do. You can see the elements that make a good research question. The site also outlines those elements specifically.

zarkam21:

What about: How does using the bottle past the age that they should affect their cognitive and physical development?

Shadow:

The site recommends that you do research.

Shadow:

The research I would recommend is defining the typical age in which you stop bottle-feeding a child.

Shadow:

I would imagine the verbiage being something akin to "up to 2 years of age."

Shadow:

So "past two years of age"

zarkam21:

no later than 1yr - 18months

Shadow:

There you go

Shadow:

I would convert the year into months

Shadow:

The differentiation in units is a bit awkward.

Shadow:

12-18 months is more smooth

zarkam21:

What about: How does using the bottle past 12-18 months for a baby affect their cognitive and physical development?

Shadow:

using the bottle is vague Try: How does using the bottle to feed a baby past 12-18 months affect their cognitive and physical development?

Shadow:

Being specific is important. I could be using the bottle as a means of entertainment.

zarkam21:

OH lol, true

zarkam21:

okay and then a discussion question also. So how about: How does letting your child use some sort of device such as and IPAD or Phone affect them to obey you?

Shadow:

and->an

Shadow:

affect them to obey you -> affect them obeying you

Shadow:

you could keep it broad but specific enough with: How does letting your child use an electronic device for entertainment...

Shadow:

Unless you want to hone in on devices with screens specifically.

zarkam21:

ugh it needs to be the topic of physical and cognitive developemtn so

zarkam21:

So maybe how it affects their brain ??

Shadow:

It needs to be both physical and cognitive, or just one of the two

zarkam21:

one

Shadow:

Then be creative. There are tons of opportunities there.

zarkam21:

Okay.

Shadow:

It's a simple format: How does _blank activity_ affect _cognitive or physical aspect of human child_

Shadow:

Though this is specifically a discussion question..

Shadow:

Do you have an example of those?

zarkam21:

How does having too much screen time affect cognitive or physical aspect of an infant.\

Shadow:

I assume these differ from research questions in their structure that's why

Shadow:

Because right now this is a research question..

Shadow:

Uh Zarkam, that was a placeholder. Not something to copy and paste.

zarkam21:

Lol . Give me a second I will think of one

Shadow:

It has to be a specific element lol

Shadow:

After you figure that out, circle back and see if you can get me an example of a discussion question, so I can see how they differ from research questions. I assume they do.

zarkam21:

What activities/exercises can you start doing with your infant that will help their cognitive and physical development

zarkam21:

What activities/exercises can you start doing with your infant early on that will help their cognitive and physical development

zarkam21:

What activities/exercises can you start doing with your infant early on that will help boost their cognitive and physical development? ****

Shadow:

So rather than: (Research Question) How does x influence y It is: (Discussion Question) What x influences y

Shadow:

What x influences y to achieve z....

zarkam21:

What activities/exercises can you start doing with your infant early on that will help boost their cognitive and physical development and avoid any type of developmental problems?

zarkam21:

I added a "z"

Shadow:

Oh is that one yours or is that an example

Shadow:

Because the z was already there. x was the activity y was the infant z was the development

zarkam21:

What activities/exercises can you start doing with your infant early on that will help boost their cognitive and physical development? ****

zarkam21:

This is mine, I came up with it

Shadow:

Oh okay. I was seeing if you could give me an example from your lesson so I could know what discussion questions are supposed to look like.

Shadow:

I formatted my response based off of your example, which we don't know to be correct.

zarkam21:

Discussion Question: How much of an impact does social referencing have on an infant? (Ex: can it affect their humor, such as what they choose to laugh at) Discussion Question: What might be so effective ways of improving or advancing the development of an infant's fine-motor skills and gross-motor skills?

zarkam21:

Here are two examples

Shadow:

What/how much does x influence(s) y in z. x= DV y = IV z = Test group

Shadow:

Your example is fine then.

zarkam21:

So I think mine covers all those

zarkam21:

Yay. Thanks!!!!

Shadow:

No problem
