Krause, Corts, Dolderman, Smith, Psychological Science, Canadian Edition, Chapter 10: Lifespan Development 1) According to Piaget, assimilation occurs when children add new information, but interpret it based on what they already know. Correct: According to Piaget, knowledge accumulates and is modified by two processes— assimilation and accommodation. In the case of assimilation, children add new information without having to modify the underlying system of knowledge and beliefs. 406 Diff: 3 Type: FIB Page Reference: 406 Skill: Conceptual Objective: Know the terminology associated with infancy and childhood. 2) According to Lev Vygotsky, a child working with a teacher is considered in the zone of proximal development when they attempt a skill or activity that is beyond the child’s ability to do alone, but within the child’s ability to do when working with assistance. Correct: According to V y got sky, the zone of proximal development is ideal when a child attempts skills and activities that are just beyond what he or she can do alone, but the child has guidance from adults who are attentive to his or her progress. 410 Diff: 3 Type: FIB Page Reference: 410 Skill: Conceptual Objective: Know the terminology associated with infancy and childhood. 3) Sonya and her 12-month-old child are recruited to participate in a research study. During the first part of the study, Sonya is instructed to sit in a room while her child plays. During the second part of the study, Sonya is asked to leave her child in the room for several minutes and then return. The researchers in this study appear to be using the strange situation protocol. Correct: Studies of attachment by Mary Ainsworth involved a mother leaving her infant with a stranger and then returning a short time later. This is referred to as the "strange situation" protocol. 413–414 Diff: 2 Type: FIB Page Reference: 413-414 Skill: Applied Objective: Understand the importance of attachment and the different styles of attachment.

Correct: In recent years, psychologists and neuroscientists have implicated ongoing changes in the prefrontal cortex as the basis of some of the behavioural issues that are especially likely to occur during adolescence. 424–425 Diff: 2 Type: FIB Page Reference: 424-425 Skill: Factual Objective: Analyze the relationship between brain development and adolescent judgment and risk taking. 5) Frederique's 5-year-old son believes that people shouldn't steal because, "They might get in trouble!" This is consistent with the pre conventional stage of moral reasoning. Correct: Pre conventional morality is characterized by self-interest in seeking reward or avoiding punishment. Pre conventional morality is considered a very basic and egocentric form of moral reasoning. 426 Diff: 2 Type: FIB Page Reference: 426 Skill: Applied Objective: Apply your understanding of the categories of moral reasoning. 6) Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that is associated with the abnormal buildup of certain proteins inside and outside of neurons in the brain. Correct: The brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease typically has a large buildup of plaques of a protein called beta-amyloid, which kills nerve cells. Also, tau proteins maintain the structure of nerve cells in the normal brain; these proteins are often found to be defective in the Alzheimer's brain, resulting in neurofibrillary tangles. 432–433 Diff: 2 Type: FIB Page Reference: 432-433 Skill: Conceptual Objective: Understand age-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. 7) A healthy older adult is unlikely to forget how to ride a bike. This is because procedural memories do not decline with age the way some other types of memories do. Copyright © 2015 Pearson Canada Inc. Page 2 of 3  Krause, Corts, Dolderman, Smith, Psychological Science, Canadian Edition, Chapter 10: Lifespan Development Correct: Episodic and working memory tend to decline with age, while semantic and procedural memory remain fairly stable. Riding a bike is a motor skill, and therefore is a type of procedural memory. 434–435 Diff: 3 Type: FIB Page Reference: 434-435 Skill: Conceptual Objective: Understand how cognitive abilities change with age. 8) According to Bowlby, a child’s sense of security comes from the attachment bonds that they develop. Correct: Bowlby argues that the motivation for attachment is deeply rooted in our psychology and that a child gains a sense of security based on the quality of attachment bonds they develop with their caregivers.411–414 Diff: 3 Type: FIB Page Reference: 411-414 Skill: Conceptual Objective: Understand the importance of attachment and the different styles of attachment.
