Hey guys and gals,
Thanks so much for your patience while I scoured the internet for the Genie videos. For *10* points of Extra Credit, watch the following videos and write a 1-2 page response. (This is a bit of a time investment. There are 6 parts to this NOVA episode. Each one is 7-8 minutes long.)
Nova Part 1
Nova Part 2
Nova Part 3
Nova Part 4
Nova Part 5
Nova Part 6
Be sure to address the following issues...
Do you think similar cases still occur?
Do you think with the improvement in technology we could better assist individuals like Genie?
Does Genie's case provide ample support for the presence of "critical periods?"
How might you compare the theories of Piaget and his contemporaries with the case of Genie?

Hey Lauren,
ReplyDeleteJust so you know the Genie videos don't work. It said the account was terminated or something.
