Explain using your own words what deindividuation is.  Describe a situation where it is likely to occur.

Deindividuation is a state when you become so immersed in the norms of the group that you lose your sense of identity and personal responsibility.

An individual relinquishes individual responsibility for actions and sees behavior as a consequence of group norms and expectations.

Deindividuation also occurs when people are wrapped up in a hobby or activity. For example, when people are in a mosh pit at a concert, they’re punching the air and shaking their heads frantically – behaviors they wouldn’t engage in if they weren’t a part of a crowd.

Describe the three believed causes for learning disabilities in children.

Learning disorders are believed to occur because of an abnormality in the nervous system, either in the structure of the brain or in the functioning of brain chemicals.

The difference in the nervous system causes the child with a learning disorder to receive, process, or communicate information in a different way.

These can include poor nutrition or exposure to lead in water or in paint. Young children who do not receive the support they need for their intellectual development may show signs of learning disabilities once they start school. Sometimes a person may develop a learning disability later in life due to injury.
