Questions and Answers

How would you differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation when designing physical activities for children?

  • By exclusively emphasizing personal satisfaction, regardless of the availability of external rewards.
  • By removing all forms of motivation to foster self-discipline.
  • By focusing solely on activities that provide external rewards, ignoring personal enjoyment.
  • By balancing activities that offer external rewards with opportunities for personal satisfaction. (correct)

Considering the developmental stages of early childhood (ages 0 to 8), what preventative measures should educators and caregivers prioritize to reduce accident-related fatalities?

  • Implementing rigorous exercise programs to enhance motor skills and cognitive awareness.
  • Focusing primarily on cognitive development to ensure children can assess risks independently.
  • Implementing comprehensive safety education programs, modifying environments to minimize hazards, and providing constant supervision. (correct)
  • Providing unstructured playtime to foster independence and reduce reliance on supervision.

Given the roles of the cerebellum, corpus callosum, and prefrontal lobe in childhood development, how might a deficit in any of these areas uniquely impact a child's learning capabilities and social interactions?

  • A deficit in the prefrontal lobe would only impact physical coordination, not intellectual abilities.
  • Deficits in the cerebellum, corpus callosum, and prefrontal lobe could cause motor skill challenges, difficulties integrating information between brain hemispheres, and problems with planning/problem-solving respectively, leading to diverse learning and social challenges. (correct)
  • A deficit in the cerebellum would primarily affect cognitive reasoning, while the other areas remain unaffected.
  • A deficit in the corpus callosum would impair motor skills, necessitating physical therapy interventions.
