While our group was evaluating Susie Hanover, We discovered that her environment in utero and after birth had a huge impact on how she interacts with others and her motives to achieve. Her lack of motivation and social skills is due to her mother's drug abuse of marijuana during pregnancy, her grand Mal seizure at the age of four, and her mother's inability to reinforce her behavior correctly instead of spanking her. Thus, causing her to mimic her mother's aggressive tendencies on her siblings and classmates. Seeing that seizure's can cause long term deficits, the fact that Susie had an intense grand Mal seizure at such a young age, it is easy to see why she has trouble when it comes to focusing, participating, and retaining school information. Furthering the case of Susie Hanover we can conclude that with these obstacles in her life, her upcoming years of developing into society will be difficult and lonely because of her low ability to maintain relationships with friends and family.

Susie is eager to socialize, but once she gets around others, she becomes aggressive. She follows her mother's abusive tendencies because of the fact she was spanked as a child. Poor emotion recognition in abused children may stem from less experience with positive emotions (Koizumi & Takagishi, 2014).

Susie's school psychologist explains that she is lively, active, imaginative, disorganized, and insecure. Susie wants to be "outgoing", yet she doesn't understand how to act upon those actions. Students with behavioral difficulties were less disengaged in classrooms with more equitably distributed and interconnected social ties (Cappella et al., 2013).

Susie is motivated to do her homework because every time she submits an assignment she earns a sticker from her teacher. Research indicates behavioral engagement is directly and strongly associated with academic performance (Cappella et al., 2013).

Susie has trouble dealing with an overwhelming amount of emotion due to the fact that her dad left two years, so whenever she smells his cologne it causes her to cry.

Susie is very aggressive there is a good possibility that this trait stems from the way her mother treated her and her sisters. Her mother would spank her for bad behavior, which eventually lead to Susie acting out negatively on her sisters. At school, she is aggressive and bossy to other students. Punishment may increase the incidence of aggression because the target may intimate the behavior of the punishment agent (Felson and Russo, 1988).

Susie is very emotional when it comes to the smell of her father's cologne that he wore when he was around. She also has a hard time labeling emotions and let others decide what emotions she should express. The experience of being abused affects children’s social cognition, especially the ability to understand others (Koizumi & Takagishi, 2014).

As stated before, Susie's mother used marijuana during her pregnancy which affected her negatively. From that came her seizure which left her with involuntary muscle movements in her hand and on the left side of her body. THC exposure are likely to disrupt developing motor control circuits and may contribute to the current finding of reduced functional connectivity between caudate and cerebellar regions (Grewen et al., 2015).

Susie would smell her father's cologne, it would then make her upset. This explains how Susie is holding onto these  images of her father.

Susie does well with math at the beginning of the day, but at the end of the day she can't remember what was taught. The results suggest that when providing incentives to remember, children apparently engaged in more effortful mnemonic processing in order to remember the items, even though a greater number of items were not recalled (Nida,2015).

While pregnant, Susie's mother used marijuana, which had an effect on Susie's mind. Additionally, as she grew up, the way that Susie viewed things were altered after she had a seizure at age 4. Medically, she became sensitive to bright lights and loud noises. Socially, she picks up different traits and uses them against other people, while putting the blame on them as well.

The Susie Hanover Case covers a young girl who is struggling with growing up in life. Effects, such as having a grand mal seizure at age 4, the lack of parental guidance, and the lack of behavioral discipline, have challenged her during her educational career and social interactions with others.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to Susie's seizure at age 4, her brain has been wired differently, which leads to her acting out more frequently than normal children would. Since Susie has a hard time controlling herself when given restrictions and rules, she has a hard time developing socially and mentally with her peers. Susie's mother did not raise her as a good mother should, therefore, the lack of punishment and reinforcements did not affect Susie in a positive way.
