Over the past week, I began researching for my final product and gathered information to
write a product proposal. I collected multiple articles and sources from the internet, and my
mentor was kind enough to email me a few. A challenge with a lot of sources, however, was my
limited access. Much of the information I sought after was protected behind a paywall for some
scientific textbooks online. I was able to find other articles for now, but I will ask my mentor if
he has access to any of these more credible sources. I researched the foundational knowledge of
neurodevelopmental outcomes based on multiple studies. I was very interested to read about the
use of animals in these studies prior to clinical trials because I was able to use my previous
knowledge. Many recent advances have been made in these studies as well. My second research
assessment had a lot more about the nurture aspect of a child’s development. I loved reading
about this as well, but the most useful aspect I got from this source was the fact that children’s
brains develop in their first few years of life and it is hard to change after. I will be doing further
research because many studies are indecisive and inconclusive.
