The study of child development enters a brilliant new era with Worth’s Developing Lives—a sophisticated, interactive experience in which each student “raises” a virtual child from sperm-and-egg to teenager.

With Developing Lives, each student provides a personal profile, selects a virtual partner (or chooses to be a single parent) and marks the arrival of their newborn (represented by a unique avatar based on the parents’ characteristics). As the child grows, the student responds to events both planned and unforeseen, making important decisions (nutrition choices, doctor visits, sleeping location) and facing uncertain moments (illness, divorce, a new baby), with each choice affecting how the child grows. Throughout, Developing Lives deepens each student’s attachment and understanding of key concepts in the field with immediate, customized feedback based on child development research.

A Robust Pedagogical Resource Fully Integrated into LaunchPad
Developing Lives includes a variety of pedagogical resources, including more than 200 videos and animations (many new to this project) plus quizzes and essay questions that are easy to assign and assess. It will be available as a fully integrated component within LaunchPad for your textbook. It’s also available as a standalone resource (LaunchPad Solo for Developing Lives).

Features

  • Complex decision-making and realistic family scenarios—including the option to be a single parent, a gay or lesbian parent and to raise your child in a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. 
  • Just-in-time information about development that students can access as they are making decisions about “their child” when they are primed and motivated.  (See the Explain tab.)
  • Recreations of classic experiments in development from theory of mind to the conservation task that help students master both the science and the application of developmental psychology.
  • A game-like token system designed to encourage students to spend more time in the program, watching videos and reading extra material (including embedded articles from Scientific American). The more time students spend in the program, the more they’ll have an opportunity to earn tokens that they can use to customize their simulated child.  (See the Learn More and Store areas.)
  • In-depth coverage of the biological and brain side of development—an area that students sometimes struggle with—with animations and videos explaining what’s going on inside baby’s growing body and brain. (See the Look Inside Tab.)
