Transcript: Ana's intial change in behaviour occured around the same time as Chris's injury at work. 3.Memory Issues impacting Anna Kat's way of dealing with Ana/s new behaviour only escalted Anas already poor attitude. Ana's probable stage of psychosocial development: Initiative vs Guilt Memory has been defined as the mental capacity to encode, store and retrieve information. There are three main types of memory, sensory , short-term and long-term memory (Gerrig, Zimbardo, Campbell, Cumming and Wilkes, 2012). References Buultjens, M. & Buultjens, P. (2016).

Chris also agrees that Kat is being too soft on Ana by not allowing her to learn for making mistakes but rewarding her instead Overall, these factors are likely to be delaying Ana’s psychosocial and cognitive development. a) Taunting from children at the preschool may affect Ana's psychosocial development b) Kat’s stress and Chris’ poor memory may be affecting her psychosocial development. c) Chris' accident and his subsequent behaviours may affect Ana's cognitive development d) Kat's stress can also be impacting on Ana's cognitive development Ana is having the greatest impact on Kat. Caring for Ana, particularly when she is not well behaved, is leading to Kat's stressed and tired behaviour. - WHY? Kat is impacted by Ana's behaviour the most because she is mainly responsible for looking after Ana. - WHERE? Kat is seen to show stress and anguish when Ana misbehaves in the case study, such as trying to get Ana in and out of the car, or to go play quietly, etc. As noted in the resource, 'Kat's notes', Ana's behaviour is effecting Kat everyday as Ana's main carer, for instance when she sleeps in Kat's bed, which may prevent Kat from having enough sleep. - HOW? When Ana misbehaves it effects Kat by creating hassel and making everyday activites more difficult. It may also effect Kat's mental health because some people may judge Ana's behaviour as a reflection of how good of a parent Kat is. For who are they problematic Anna’s aggressive behaviour towards the other children at her day care becomes very problematic for her mother and her father. Kat doesn’t want to believe that Anna has an aggressive behaviour at child care. Anna’s behaviour is becoming problematic for her father due to the stress it is putting on his wife. Chris is not functioning normally due to his accident and Ana’s behavioural problems seem to override Chris’ health problems. Both parents contributed to Ana's new substandard behaviour. By: Kiara Bower, Tyler Loats, Victoria Lekkas, Lucy Taylor and Laura Taylor Operant Conditioning: Ana is learning through positive reinforcement that she can get her own way by throwing a tantrum. This behaviour is prominent with Kat. However around Chris, Ana behaves well, as he has taught her to do so through positive reinforcement. Classical Conditioning: Ana's aversion to the psychiatrist is an example of classical conditioning. She may have learned this behaviour through experiences with health professionals following Chris's accident. Social Learning Theory: By modelling her new friend Ben at the childcare centre, the way Ana interacts with other children has changed. She has begun to show anti-social and aggressive behaviours. This is effecting Ana's behaviour at home and at childcare From Chris's work place accident, he is suffering from anterograde amnesia. This is inhibiting Chris to form new memories. He is forgetting things such as Ana
