    Prenatal development is protected by the placenta

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The placenta is a vital organ that forms during pregnancy and connects the developing fetus to the mother's uterus. It plays a crucial role in providing oxygen, nutrients, and removing waste products from the fetus. Additionally, the placenta acts as a barrier, protecting the fetus from harmful substances such as bacteria and certain drugs that may be present in the mother's bloodstream. Therefore, it is correct to say that prenatal development is protected by the placenta.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A pre mature newborn is a baby born in less than 38 weeks.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because a pre mature newborn is indeed a baby born in less than 38 weeks. Full-term pregnancies typically last for about 40 weeks, so any baby born before that is considered premature. Premature babies may have certain health issues as they may not have fully developed in the womb, and they may require special medical attention and care.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Nutrition, smoking, alcohol and drugs are all factors that are responsible for pre mature birth weight

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. While nutrition, smoking, alcohol, and drugs can all have an impact on pregnancy and fetal development, they are not the sole factors responsible for premature birth weight. Premature birth weight can be influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, maternal health conditions, infections, and complications during pregnancy. Therefore, it is incorrect to state that these factors are solely responsible for premature birth weight.

    • A.

      Underweight

    • B.

      Obesity

    • C.

      Overweight

    Correct Answer
    C. Overweight
    Explanation
    A BMI of 25-29 is considered overweight. BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure of body fat based on a person's weight and height. A BMI between 25 and 29 indicates that a person has excess weight for their height, which is classified as overweight. This means that their weight may be higher than what is considered healthy for their height, increasing the risk of various health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

      Field of vision

    • D.

      Peripheral vision

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Field of vision
    D. PeripHeral vision
    Explanation
    The extent of the environment that can change in the fixation of the eye refers to the range of the surroundings that can be observed while focusing on a specific point. Visual acuity refers to the sharpness and clarity of vision, which is not related to the extent of the environment. Visual cliff is a test used to determine depth perception in infants and does not pertain to the extent of the environment. Field of vision refers to the total area that can be seen without moving the eyes, and peripheral vision refers to the ability to see objects outside of the direct line of vision. Both field of vision and peripheral vision are relevant to the extent of the environment that can be observed while fixating the eye.

    • B.

      7 years

    • C.

      3 years

    • D.

      2 years

    Correct Answer
    D. 2 years
    Explanation
    Object permanence refers to the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are not directly perceived. It is a cognitive milestone in child development. At around 2 years of age, children begin to develop a more adult-like understanding of object permanence. Prior to this age, infants may believe that objects cease to exist when they are out of sight. However, at around 2 years old, children start to realize that objects still exist even when they are hidden or removed from their view. This development is an important step in their cognitive growth and allows them to engage in more complex play and problem-solving activities.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

    • C.

      4 years

    • D.

      8 years

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 years
    Explanation
    The field of vision refers to the extent of the visual area that a person can see without moving their eyes or head. In infants, the field of vision is initially limited, but it gradually expands as they grow and develop. By the age of 5 years, a child's field of vision becomes more adult-like, meaning it reaches a similar extent as that of an adult. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 years.

    Rate this question:

    • D.

      12 years

    Correct Answer
    D. 12 years
    Explanation
    Depth perception refers to the ability to perceive the distance and three-dimensional aspects of objects. It develops gradually as a child grows. At around 12 years of age, depth perception becomes adult-like. This is because by this age, the visual system has fully matured, including the development of binocular vision and the ability to accurately judge distances and spatial relationships. Therefore, at 12 years, individuals have a more refined and accurate sense of depth perception, similar to that of adults.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    Visual motor coordination becomes adult like at 14 months.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because visual motor coordination, which refers to the ability to coordinate visual perception with motor skills, typically develops and becomes more refined as a child grows. By 14 months of age, most children have reached a stage where their visual motor coordination is similar to that of an adult. This means that they are able to accurately interpret visual information and use their motor skills to respond or interact with their environment in a coordinated manner.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Selective attention refers to the ability to focus on specific stimuli while ignoring others. It is a cognitive skill that allows individuals to filter out irrelevant information and concentrate on what is important. The statement suggests that by the age of 12, individuals have developed the capacity for selective attention. This aligns with research in developmental psychology, which indicates that selective attention improves throughout childhood and reaches adult-like levels during early adolescence. Therefore, the answer "true" is correct.

    The cocktail party phenomenon deals with _______

    • A.

      Recall

    • B.

      Recognition

    • C.

      Selective attention

    • D.

      Divided attention

    Correct Answer
    C. Selective attention
    Explanation
    The cocktail party phenomenon refers to the ability to focus one's attention on a specific stimulus while filtering out other distracting stimuli in a crowded environment, such as a cocktail party. This process is known as selective attention. It allows individuals to selectively attend to relevant information while ignoring irrelevant or less important information, enhancing their ability to recall and recognize the desired stimulus.

    Which type memory is more advanced.

    • A.

      Recognition

    • B.

      Recall

    Correct Answer
    B. Recall
    Explanation
    The answer "recall" is more advanced compared to "recognition" in terms of memory. Recognition refers to the ability to identify or recognize something that has been previously encountered, while recall refers to the ability to retrieve or bring back information from memory without any cues or prompts. Recall requires a higher level of cognitive effort as it involves retrieving information from memory without any external assistance, making it a more advanced form of memory compared to recognition.

    Form of memory that involves remembering a stimulus that is not present.

    • A.

      Recall

    • B.

      Recognition

    • C.

      Selective memory

    • D.

      Deviant memory

    Correct Answer
    A. Recall
    Explanation
    Recall is the correct answer because it refers to the form of memory that involves remembering a stimulus that is not present. It is the ability to retrieve information or experiences from the past without any external cues or prompts. This can be done by consciously bringing back previously learned information or by reconstructing past events based on memory. Recall is different from recognition, which involves identifying or remembering a stimulus when it is presented again. Selective memory and deviant memory are not accurate terms for this form of memory.

    Long term memory is also known as working memory

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Long term memory and working memory are two distinct components of memory. Long term memory refers to the storage of information over an extended period of time, while working memory is a temporary storage system that holds information for immediate processing and manipulation. Therefore, the statement that "Long term memory is also known as working memory" is false.

    Memory span can only have 7±2 items

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement that memory span can only have 7±2 items is true. This is based on research in cognitive psychology that suggests that the average person's short-term memory can hold around 7 items, give or take 2. This concept is known as Miller's Law and has been supported by various studies. It means that individuals can typically remember around 5 to 9 pieces of information at a time before their memory starts to deteriorate.

    Development differences due primarily to processing strategies rather than structural increases.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the differences in development are mainly attributed to the strategies used for processing information rather than the structural increases. This implies that the way individuals approach and handle tasks or problems has a greater impact on their development than any physical changes or growth.

    The renewed response to a new stimulus is known as dishabitation

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Dishabituation refers to the recovery of a response to a previously habituated stimulus when a new stimulus is presented. It is a process in which the individual's response to a habituated stimulus is renewed or revived due to the introduction of a novel stimulus. In other words, dishabituation occurs when a person becomes responsive to a previously habituated stimulus again because of the introduction of a new stimulus. Therefore, the statement "The renewed response to a new stimulus is known as dishabituation" is true.

    Habitiation is when the reaction to a new stimulus declines

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Habituation refers to the process by which an organism's response to a stimulus decreases over time. This means that with repeated exposure to the same stimulus, the organism becomes less responsive or interested in it. Therefore, the statement "Habituation is when the reaction to a new stimulus declines" is true.
