    After high school, Tom entered college while his brother Jay went to work. Which of the following is true?

    • Jay will probably settle on a self-definition before TOm

    • Jay is unlikely to reach identity achievement

    Correct Answer
    A. Jay will probably settle on a self-definition before TOm
    Explanation
    Jay will probably settle on a self-definition before Tom because he entered the workforce after high school. When individuals start working, they are exposed to different experiences and challenges that can help them shape their identity and understand their strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, Tom entered college, where he will have more opportunities for exploration and self-discovery, which may take longer to settle on a self-definition. Therefore, it is likely that Jay will reach a self-definition earlier than Tom.

    • Travis, who lives in a high ses household

    • Devin whose parents have good eyesight

    • Chen who weighed 8 pounds at birth

    • Hallie whose lives in a low ses household

    Correct Answer
    A. Travis, who lives in a high ses household
    Explanation
    Children who live in a high socio-economic status (SES) household are more likely to have myopia. This is because higher SES households often have access to more resources and education, which can lead to increased near work activities such as reading or using electronic devices for long periods of time. These activities are associated with the development of myopia.

    • Anemia

    • Obesity

    • Diabetes

    • Anorexia nervosa

    Correct Answer
    A. Anemia
    Explanation
    Janelle, a teenager, is experiencing chronic fatigue but is still growing normally. This suggests that her tiredness is not due to a growth-related issue such as obesity or anorexia nervosa. However, chronic fatigue can be a symptom of anemia, which is a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Therefore, it is important for Janelle to have a medical checkup to determine if she is suffering from anemia.

    • At least 4 years old

    • Less than 1 year of age

    • At least 6 years old

    Which of the following children is most likely to compare himself to just one other person and use that information as a basis for self evaluation

    • Jessica age 5

    • Estelle age 7

    • Mariah age 9

    • Shelly age 11

    Correct Answer
    A. Jessica age 5
    Explanation
    Jessica, who is 5 years old, is most likely to compare herself to just one other person and use that information as a basis for self-evaluation. This is because at a young age, children tend to engage in social comparison with a single individual, usually a peer or sibling, as they are still developing their understanding of themselves in relation to others. As children grow older, they typically expand their social comparisons to include a wider range of individuals and factors.

    • Improve rapidly

    • Be similar to that of an 8 year old child

    • Decrease slightly

    • Remain the same

    Correct Answer
    A. Improve rapidly
    Explanation
    Based on recent studies, it is likely that Camilla's future performance on the class inclusion task will improve rapidly. This is because children at the age of 5 tend to rely more on an empirical approach rather than a logical one. However, when provided with a logical explanation by her teacher, Camilla now has the opportunity to learn and apply a new problem-solving strategy. With practice and understanding, she is expected to show significant improvement in her performance on the task.

    • Class inclusion; there are more fruits

    • Class inclusion; there are more oranges

    • Conservation-of-number; there are more fruit

    • Conservation-of-number; there are more oranges

    Correct Answer
    A. Class inclusion; there are more oranges
    Explanation
    In this question, Marissa is being asked about the concept of class inclusion, which refers to understanding that a category can be a part of a larger category. In this case, Marissa is being asked if there are more oranges or fruits in a group that contains two apples, one banana, and three oranges. Since oranges are a type of fruit, the correct answer would be "class inclusion; there are more oranges" because Marissa should understand that oranges are a subset of the larger category of fruits.

    • Gathering informally on sidewalks

    • In adult-organized sports

    • At playgrounds

    • In spontaneous play

    Correct Answer
    A. In adult-organized sports
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "in adult-organized sports" because it is stating that school-age children today spend more time in organized sports compared to past generations. This implies that children are now more involved in structured sports activities that are supervised and organized by adults, rather than engaging in informal activities like gathering on sidewalks or spontaneous play.

    Eight year old Daniel focuses on several aspects of a problem and relates them rather than centering on just one. Daniel is capable of

    • Decentration

    • Conservation

    • Reversibility

    • Seriation

    Correct Answer
    A. Decentration
    Explanation
    Decentration refers to the cognitive ability to consider multiple aspects of a problem and relate them, rather than focusing on just one aspect. In this case, the fact that eight-year-old Daniel is capable of decentration suggests that he has developed the cognitive ability to think beyond a single focus and consider multiple perspectives or dimensions of a problem. This ability is an important milestone in cognitive development and indicates that Daniel is able to think more flexibly and abstractly.

    • Adaptive

    • Selective

    • Planful

    • Productive

    Correct Answer
    A. Selective
    Explanation
    Gemma's selective attention is being tested because she is specifically instructed to only pay attention to the two-digit sequence of a "5" followed by a "7". She needs to selectively focus on this specific pattern and ignore other numbers or sequences that may appear on the screen. This requires her to filter out irrelevant information and concentrate on the target sequence, demonstrating her selective attention abilities.

    The given correct answer suggests that Jos's remarks of "What am I really like?" and "Who will I become?" are signs of identity development. This implies that Jos is at a stage in their life where they are questioning and exploring their own identity, trying to understand who they truly are and who they want to become in the future. This is a normal and healthy part of human development, as individuals go through different stages of self-discovery and self-awareness.

    • Epilepsy

    • Cerebal palsy

    • Muscular dystropy

    • Autrism

    Correct Answer
    A. Epilepsy
    Explanation
    Milo's symptoms of seizures and loss of motor control are consistent with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal brain activity that causes seizures. The imbalance of neurotransmitters in Milo's brain could be contributing to these abnormal electrical discharges, leading to his symptoms. Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and autism are all different conditions with distinct symptoms and causes, which do not align with Milo's symptoms.

    • Aggression preference for same-sex playmates is widespread among mammalism species

    • Preschool girls prefer to play in larger-group play with other girls, while boys prefer to play in pairs

    • Prenatally administered androgens decrease active play

    Correct Answer
    A. Aggression preference for same-sex playmates is widespread among mammalism species
    Explanation
    Research on biological influences on gender typing reveals that aggression preference for same-sex playmates is widespread among mammalian species. This suggests that the tendency for individuals to prefer playing with others of the same sex is not limited to humans, but is observed in various other mammal species as well. This finding supports the idea that there may be underlying biological factors influencing gender-typed behavior.

    • Lower in fried foods

    • Lower in vegetables

    Correct Answer
    A. Lower in fried foods
    Explanation
    Eating an evening meal with parents may lead to a diet that is lower in fried foods. This could be due to the influence and guidance of parents who may prioritize healthier food choices and discourage the consumption of fried foods. Additionally, when eating with parents, there may be a greater emphasis on home-cooked meals which are often healthier compared to fried foods commonly found in fast food or restaurant meals.

    The most powerful evidence on the role of heredity in IQ involves

    • Adoption studies

    • DNA testing

    • Twin comparisons

    • Nontwin comparisons

    Correct Answer
    A. Twin comparisons
    Explanation
    Twin comparisons provide the most powerful evidence on the role of heredity in IQ because they allow researchers to study the similarities and differences in IQ between identical twins who share 100% of their genetic material and fraternal twins who share only 50% of their genetic material. By comparing the IQ scores of these twins, researchers can determine the extent to which genetic factors contribute to IQ differences. This method helps to isolate the influence of genetics from environmental factors, making it a reliable way to study the role of heredity in IQ.

    • Say that she needs to see the object in question

    • Be able to reason correctly after hearing the statement

    • Say "no"

    • Say "only if it is a fork"

    Correct Answer
    A. Be able to reason correctly after hearing the statement
    Explanation
    Alicia will be able to reason correctly after hearing the statement because the statement presents a logical argument. It states that a spoon is something that can be used to stir, and then asks if something that is not a spoon can be used to stir. By understanding the definition of a spoon and the concept of stirring, Alicia can logically conclude that something that is not a spoon cannot be used to stir.

    • Recess periods tend to subtract from classroom learning

    • Distributing cognitively demanding tasks over a longer time by introducing recess breaks enhances attention

    • Classroom disruptive behavior increases for children who have more than 15 minutes of daily recess.

    Correct Answer
    A. Distributing cognitively demanding tasks over a longer time by introducing recess breaks enhances attention
    Explanation
    Distributing cognitively demanding tasks over a longer time by introducing recess breaks enhances attention. This means that taking breaks during the school day, such as recess, can help improve students' ability to focus and pay attention during class. It suggests that incorporating short breaks in between periods of intense cognitive activity can actually enhance learning and attention span.

    • Chase who frequently plays sports with his many male friends

    • Gwenneth who is neither popular nor unpopular

    Correct Answer
    A. Marie who reached puberty earlier than her classmates
    Explanation
    Marie, who reached puberty earlier than her classmates, is most likely to have other sex friends because early puberty can lead to increased sexual curiosity and exploration. The early physical development may make Marie more attractive to her peers, increasing the likelihood of forming sexual relationships. Additionally, Marie may feel more mature and confident due to her physical development, making her more likely to engage in sexual activities.

    When Sadie says "I goed to the store" her mother replies, "yes, you went to the store." Sadie's mother's responds is an example of

    • Fast mapping

    • A recast

    • An overregularization

    • An expansion

    Correct Answer
    A. A recast
    Explanation
    Sadie's mother's response is an example of a recast. A recast is a strategy used by adults to rephrase or restate a child's incorrect statement in a more grammatically correct way. In this case, Sadie said "I goed to the store," which is an example of overregularization where she applied a regular past tense rule to the irregular verb "go." Sadie's mother corrected her by saying "yes, you went to the store," providing a model of the correct past tense form of the verb. This recast helps Sadie to hear and learn the correct form of the verb without directly pointing out her mistake.

    • Uncertain; true

    • True; uncertain

    • Uncertain; false

    • True; false

    Correct Answer

    • Is generally disliked by her peers for being selfish

    • Is still a concrete thinker

    Correct Answer

    Sleep rebound on weekends

    • Helps teenagers perform better in school during the weekdays

    • Is vitally important to teenage sleep patterns

    • Can lead to difficulty falling asleep on subsequent evenings

    • Decreases the sleep phase delay

    Correct Answer
    A. Can lead to difficulty falling asleep on subsequent evenings
    Explanation
    Sleep rebound on weekends refers to the phenomenon where individuals try to catch up on missed sleep during the weekdays by sleeping longer on weekends. This can disrupt the regular sleep schedule and lead to difficulty falling asleep on subsequent evenings. When individuals sleep longer on weekends, their body's sleep-wake cycle can be thrown off, making it harder for them to fall asleep at their usual bedtime. This can create a cycle where individuals continue to have difficulty falling asleep, leading to sleep deprivation and potential negative effects on their overall sleep patterns.
