    Six month olds Luka's weight, height, and head circumference are substantially below age related growth norms. LUka is withdrawn and apathetic. A distrubed parent-infant relationship contributed to Luka's failture to grow normally. Luka most likely suffers from

    • Growth faltering

    • Malnutrition

    • Marasmus

    • Food insecurity

    Correct Answer
    A. Growth faltering
    Explanation
    Luka's weight, height, and head circumference being substantially below age-related growth norms, along with being withdrawn and apathetic, suggests that Luka is experiencing growth faltering. Growth faltering refers to a condition where a child's growth is significantly below what is expected for their age. This can be caused by various factors, such as malnutrition or a disturbed parent-infant relationship. In Luka's case, the disturbed parent-infant relationship is mentioned as a contributing factor, indicating that growth faltering is the most likely explanation for Luka's condition.

    Wanda is concerned that her son Max will be in pain during his circumcision. You can tell Wanda that

    • Newborn males do not experience much pain during circumcision

    • Offering a nipple that delivers sugar solution reduces the discomfort during circumcision

    • Local anesthetics cannot be used during newborn circumcisions because they elevate the heart rate

    • Local anesthetics can actually cause increased pain during minor procedures like circumcision

    Correct Answer
    A. Offering a nipple that delivers sugar solution reduces the discomfort during circumcision
    Explanation
    Offering a nipple that delivers a sugar solution reduces the discomfort during circumcision. This is because sucking on a nipple stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers. The sugar solution also provides a sweet taste that can distract and soothe the baby, helping to reduce any discomfort he may feel during the procedure.

    During early childhood

    • Preschoolers show declines in sustained attention

    • The number of synapses in the prefrontal cortex is nearly double the adult value

    • Energy metabolism in the cerebral cortex is at an all time low

    • Synaptic pruning decreases

    Correct Answer
    A. The number of synapses in the prefrontal cortex is nearly double the adult value
    Explanation
    During early childhood, the number of synapses in the prefrontal cortex is nearly double the adult value. This means that there are significantly more connections between neurons in this area of the brain during this stage of development. This abundance of synapses allows for increased plasticity and flexibility in the brain, which is important for learning and cognitive development. As the child grows and matures, synaptic pruning occurs, leading to a more efficient and streamlined neural network. This process helps to strengthen important connections and eliminate unnecessary ones, ultimately improving cognitive function.

    Baby Sabrina opens her mouth differently for a nipple than for a spoon. In piaget's theory this is an example of a _________ circular reaction

    • Reflexive

    • Primary

    • Secondary

    • Tertiary

    Correct Answer
    A. Primary
    Explanation
    In Piaget's theory, primary circular reactions occur during the sensorimotor stage, which is the first stage of cognitive development. These reactions involve the repetition of actions that initially occurred by chance and are centered on the infant's own body. In this case, Baby Sabrina opening her mouth differently for a nipple than for a spoon demonstrates a primary circular reaction because she is repeating a behavior (opening her mouth) that is centered on her own body and is related to her own actions and experiences.

    The ___________ plays a critical role in the rate of physical growth

    • Pituitary gland

    • Hippocampus

    • Reticular formation

    • Corpus callosum

    Correct Answer
    A. Pituitary gland
    Explanation
    The pituitary gland is responsible for releasing hormones that regulate growth and development in the body. It plays a critical role in the rate of physical growth by stimulating the production of growth hormone. This hormone is essential for the growth of bones, muscles, and organs during childhood and adolescence. Without the pituitary gland, the body would not be able to grow and develop properly. Therefore, the pituitary gland is the correct answer as it directly influences the rate of physical growth.

    Baby Sunni quickly closes her eyelids when her father claps his hands near her head. The function of this relex is to

    • Stimulate the eye muscle

    • Protect the infant from a blow to the head

    • Protect the infant from strong stimulation

    • Communicate irritation toward a caregiver

    Correct Answer
    A. Protect the infant from strong stimulation
    Explanation
    The function of this reflex is to protect the infant from strong stimulation. When the father claps his hands near her head, the sudden loud noise and movement may be overwhelming for the baby. Closing her eyelids helps to shield her eyes from the strong stimulation, allowing her to avoid any potential harm or discomfort.

    Alexia was born with cataracts in both eyes. What can you tell her parents about when she should have corrective surgery?

    • Alexia should wait to have corrective surgery until adulthood when her eyes are fully mature

    • Alexia should not have corrective surgery during the first six months of life because his vision would be severely and permanently impaired

    • The longer cataract surgery is postponed beyond infancy, the less complete Alexia's recovery in visual skills

    • Alexia should wait until later in childhood to have corrective surgery because there is no sensitive periods in visual development

    Correct Answer
    A. The longer cataract surgery is postponed beyond infancy, the less complete Alexia's recovery in visual skills
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that the longer the surgery is postponed beyond infancy, the less complete Alexia's recovery in visual skills will be. This implies that it is important for Alexia to have corrective surgery as early as possible in order to maximize her chances of recovering her visual skills.

    Which of the following motor skils typically develops the latest?

    • Building a tower of two cubes

    • Scribbing vigorously

    • Walking on tiptoe

    • Jumping in place

    Correct Answer
    A. Walking on tiptoe
    Explanation
    Walking on tiptoe typically develops the latest compared to the other motor skills mentioned. This is because walking on tiptoe requires a higher level of balance, coordination, and muscle control. It involves using the muscles in the feet and lower legs in a different way than regular walking, which takes time for a child to develop. In contrast, building a tower of two cubes, scribbling vigorously, and jumping in place are motor skills that typically develop earlier as they require less complex coordination and muscle control.

    Correct Answer
    A. Their round faces, chubby cheeks, large foreheads, and big eyes make adults feel like picking them up and cuddling them.

    Baby matthew recognizes his own mother's smell, voice, and face. But matthew does not mind being left with an unfamiliar adult. In which of Bowlby' phrases does Matthew best fit?

    • Preattachment

    • Attachment in the making

    • Clear out attachment

    • Formation of a reciprocal relationship

    Correct Answer
    A. Preattachment
    Explanation
    Matthew best fits the preattachment phase of Bowlby's attachment theory. During this phase, infants recognize and form a bond with their primary caregiver, usually the mother, through sensory experiences like smell, voice, and face. However, they do not yet show distress or protest when separated from the caregiver or left with unfamiliar adults. This suggests that Matthew has not yet formed a strong attachment and is still in the early stages of developing a bond with his mother.

    After 2 to 6 month olds forget an operant response

    • It takes months for them to reinstate the memory

    • They need only a brief prompt to reinstate the memory

    • They reinstate the memory after a few days

    • They are unable to remember it without extensive training

    Correct Answer
    A. They need only a brief prompt to reinstate the memory
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "they need only a brief prompt to reinstate the memory." This means that after 2 to 6 months, when infants forget an operant response, they are able to remember it again with just a short reminder or cue. This suggests that their memory of the response is not completely lost, but rather temporarily inaccessible until triggered by a prompt.
