**A baby uses their vision and hearing to locate the source of a sound by turning toward it. This ability is an example of:** - A\) Perception - B\) Intermodal perception - C\) Implicit memory - D\) Reflexive behavior\ **Correct Answer:** B **By the end of the sensorimotor stage, infants begin to use primitive symbols. What substage does this reflect?** - A\) Secondary circular reactions - B\) Tertiary circular reactions - C\) Internalization of schemes - D\) Coordination of secondary circular reactions\ **Correct Answer:** C **A researcher studies infants\' ability to differentiate between faces of different races. By 9 months, infants are better at recognizing faces from their own race. This developmental phenomenon is known as:** - A\) Object permanence - B\) Perceptual narrowing - C\) Intermodal perception - D\) Habituation\ **Correct Answer:** B **An infant is exposed to new stimuli and initially shows great interest but gradually loses attention over time. This process is called:** - A\) Dishabituation - B\) Habituation - C\) Perceptual narrowing - D\) Dynamic systems approach\ **Correct Answer:** B **An infant\'s ability to remember that a hidden object continues to exist even when out of sight is known as:** - A\) Object permanence - B\) Assimilation - C\) Deferred imitation - D\) Core knowledge approach\ **Correct Answer:** A **A 9-month-old infant experiences separation protest when their caregiver leaves the room. This is most likely to occur at what age?** - A\) 6-9 months - B\) 9-12 months - C\) 13-15 months - D\) 18 months\ **Correct Answer:** C **According to Piaget's theory, what does the sensorimotor stage primarily involve?** - A\) The use of language to solve complex problems - B\) The coordination of sensory experiences with motor actions - C\) The development of hypothetical thinking - D\) The formation of social relationships\ **Correct Answer:** B **A baby uses a reflexive smile in response to internal stimuli, such as during sleep. This type of smile is different from the social smile because it:** - A\) Occurs in response to external stimuli - B\) Does not involve emotional regulation - C\) Appears later in development - D\) Is not triggered by external factors\ **Correct Answer:** D **In the Strange Situation experiment, a child shows confusion and fear, alternating between approaching and avoiding their caregiver. This behavior is typical of which attachment style?** - A\) Secure attachment - B\) Insecure avoidant - C\) Insecure resistant - D\) Insecure disorganized\ **Correct Answer:** D **A 10-month-old infant is able to imitate a behavior they observed the previous day. This demonstrates the development of:** - A\) Deferred imitation - B\) Habituation - C\) Dishabituation - D\) Object permanence\ **Correct Answer:** A **A toddler repeatedly drops toys from their high chair to observe the effects. This behavior is characteristic of which sensorimotor substage?** - A\) Simple reflexes - B\) Coordination of secondary circular reactions - C\) Tertiary circular reactions - D\) Internalization of schemes\ **Correct Answer:** C **A 2-year-old recognizes themselves in a mirror for the first time. This ability represents the development of:** - A\) Social referencing - B\) Self-recognition - C\) Effortful control - D\) Goodness of fit\ **Correct Answer:** B **A child smiles at their caregiver in response to a funny expression. This is an example of:** - A\) Reflexive smile - B\) Social smile - C\) Reciprocal socialization - D\) Separation protest\ **Correct Answer:** B **An infant is able to use a spoon to feed themselves by 18 months of age. This ability is an example of:** - A\) Gross motor skills - B\) Fine motor skills - C\) Reflexive behavior - D\) Proximodistal pattern\ **Correct Answer:** B **A caregiver notices that when she stops responding to her baby\'s crying for brief intervals at night, the baby eventually starts sleeping through the night. This is an example of:** - A\) Graduated extinction - B\) Reflexive crying - C\) Reciprocal socialization - D\) Secure attachment\ **Correct Answer:** A **A 10-month-old infant shows excitement when they see their caregiver after being apart for a short period. This behavior is most closely associated with which attachment style?** - A\) Insecure avoidant - B\) Securely attached - C\) Insecure resistant - D\) Insecure disorganized\ **Correct Answer:** B **An infant displays fear and distress when a stranger approaches but calms down when their primary caregiver returns. This behavior reflects:** - A\) Separation protest - B\) Stranger anxiety - C\) Object permanence - D\) Social referencing\ **Correct Answer:** B **A child who is shy and avoids new situations is likely demonstrating which of Kagan\'s concepts?** - A\) Insecure attachment - B\) Temperament - C\) Behavioral inhibition - D\) Effortful control\ **Correct Answer:** C **A caregiver frequently talks to her infant using exaggerated intonations and simple language. What role does this form of speech play in the infant's development?** - A\) Encourages motor development - B\) Enhances language acquisition - C\) Inhibits complex thought processes - D\) Promotes social referencing\ **Correct Answer:** B **In an experiment, an infant is shown a toy and then has it hidden in one location (A), but later it is moved to a second location (B). Despite seeing the toy moved, the infant continues to search for it at location A. This error is an example of:** - A\) Object permanence - B\) Dishabituation - C\) A-not-B error - D\) Deferred imitation\ **Correct Answer:** C **An infant participates in an experiment using a visual cliff. If the infant refuses to cross the apparent \"drop-off,\" this is likely due to:** - A\) The development of visual acuity - B\) The recognition of intermodal perception - C\) Depth perception development - D\) Lack of motor coordination\ **Correct Answer:** C **A toddler begins to throw tantrums but also shows the ability to calm down with minimal external soothing. This ability reflects improvement in:** - A\) Social referencing - B\) Effortful control - C\) Temperament - D\) Goodness of fit\ **Correct Answer:** B **A baby uses their vision and hearing to locate the source of a sound by turning toward it. This ability is an example of:** - A\) Perception - B\) Intermodal perception - C\) Implicit memory - D\) Reflexive behavior\ **Correct Answer:** B **By the end of the sensorimotor stage, infants begin to use primitive symbols.
