Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

1.2K
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Intellectual Disability

1.1K
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

468
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

417
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

1.0K
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Area of Science:

  • Anthropology
  • Disability Studies
  • Education

Background:

  • Young adults with learning disabilities (LD) often face uncertain futures after high school.
  • Existing transition programs may not adequately address the complex needs of this population.
  • The authors' dual role as parents and anthropologists informed their research approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the creation and impact of innovative transition programs for young adults with LD.
  • To develop and apply an "entangled ethnography" methodology.
  • To explore demedicalizing approaches to understanding disability.

Main Methods:

  • Multi-sited, long-term ethnographic research in New York City.
  • Collaborative development of two innovative transition programs.
  • Utilizing an "entangled ethnography" approach, integrating insider and outsider perspectives.
  • Applying critical anthropology methods to demedicalize disability experiences.

Main Results:

  • The creation of two innovative transition programs aimed at supporting young adults with LD.
  • Demonstration of "entangled ethnography" as a viable research method in disability studies.
  • Insights into the challenges and successes of transitioning from high school for individuals with LD.

Conclusions:

  • Innovative transition programs are crucial for young adults with learning disabilities.
  • "Entangled ethnography" offers a powerful framework for researching disability.
  • A demedicalized perspective is essential for understanding and supporting individuals with LD.
