Apply the concept of a developmental cascade to understanding how child maltreatment impacts the developing child.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Behavior or events at one age lead to changes in behavior at another age that can accumulate over time and result in a large developmental change.
2. The effects can move from one aspect of development (such as brain development) to another (such as cognitive development).
3. For the developing child, the experience of maltreatment at age 3 impacts the way that the brain develops, which then negatively impacts cognitive development (such as language or intelligence).
