Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

-Edward Zigler (1969, 1971) asserted that the majority of children with intellectual developmental disabilities are more similar to than different from typically developing children
-Development is delayed in mastery of motor, cognitive, emotional, and social tasks
-Ultimate level of development falls short from typically developing peers
-Children with IDD follow same developmental sequence
-Furthers understanding in that it views the child in a holistic manner without an emphasis on what they can't do (deficit model) and focuses on individual differences - personalities, temperament, etc.
-Developmental-difference debate: focuses on nature of cognitive disabilities; one side suggesting that children with IDD develop in a similar but slower manner as same-aged peers, while the other side asserts that children with IDD think in qualitatively distinct/deficient ways; the second side focuses more on differences than similarities

The neurobiological model of cognition emphasizes qualitative and quantitative changes that occur in intelligence based on evolutionary contexts and brain development.
