-
The easy child
-
The difficult child

Children from low socioeconomic status (SES) are more likely than children from high SES to experience which of the following?
-
Injuries and death
-
Low IQ
-
Neurological problems
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
Children from low socioeconomic status (SES) are more likely than children from high SES to experience injuries and death, low IQ, and neurological problems. This is because children from low SES backgrounds often face various disadvantages such as limited access to quality healthcare, nutrition, and educational resources. These factors can contribute to higher rates of accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Additionally, the lack of access to quality education and developmental opportunities can result in lower IQ scores and difficulties in cognitive and neurological development. Therefore, all of the above options are more prevalent among children from low SES backgrounds.Rate this question:

The role that siblings play in one another’s lives is:
-
Probably less important than that of the parents
-
About the same as that of the parents
-
Probably more important than that of the parents
-
None of the above
Correct Answer

This implies that siblings have a significant impact on each other's lives, possibly because they share a similar upbringing, spend more time together, and have a unique bond that can shape their development and provide emotional support. However, it is important to note that the importance of siblings' role may vary depending on individual circumstances and family dynamics.Rate this question:

A grandparent who occasionally babysits or provides treats is referred to as a:
-
Surrogate parent
-
Distant figure
-
Formal figure
-
Fun seeker
Correct Answer
A. Formal figureExplanation
A grandparent who occasionally babysits or provides treats is referred to as a "formal figure" because they have a more formal and occasional role in the child's life. They may not have the same level of responsibility as a surrogate parent or be as emotionally distant as a distant figure. Instead, they play a more structured and limited role, often providing treats or babysitting when needed. They are not necessarily seeking fun, but rather fulfilling a more formal and occasional role in the child's life.Rate this question:

Infants normally begin to walk without support at what age?
-
8-11 months
-
11-14 months
-
15-18 months
-
Around 2 years old
Correct Answer
A. 11-14 monthsExplanation
Infants normally begin to walk without support at around 11-14 months of age. This is the typical developmental milestone when babies gain enough strength and coordination to take their first steps independently. It is important to note that every child develops at their own pace, so some infants may start walking a little earlier or later than this range. However, 11-14 months is generally considered to be the average age for this milestone.Rate this question:

The tendency of the trunk area of an infant’s body to develop before the extremities is referred to as:
-
Proximodistal development
-
Fine motor skill development
-
Milestones in Gross motor development
-
Cephalocaudal development
Correct Answer
A. Proximodistal developmentExplanation
Proximodistal development refers to the pattern of development where the trunk area of an infant's body develops before the extremities. This means that the muscles and control of the core and proximal parts of the body, such as the head, neck, and torso, develop before the muscles and control of the arms and legs. This allows the infant to gain stability and control over their center of gravity before being able to manipulate and control their limbs.Rate this question:

Temperament, the consistent ways we respond behaviorally and emotionally, to our environment, is considered to:
-
Adjust to circumstances
-
Be a fairly stable trait throughout life
-
Evolve throughout the life span
-
Be unstable and erratic
Correct Answer
A. Be a fairly stable trait throughout lifeExplanation
Temperament refers to the consistent ways in which individuals respond behaviorally and emotionally to their environment. It is considered to be a fairly stable trait throughout life because it tends to remain consistent over time. While certain aspects of temperament may evolve and change as individuals age and experience different life events, the core characteristics of temperament generally remain relatively stable. This stability is believed to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.Rate this question:

-
Classical conditioning
-
Social learning theory
-
Humanism

The mechanism for acquiring language that allows children to make sense of language and eventually master it is called:
-
Broca’s area
-
Wernicke’s area
-
A language acquisition device
-
Prefrontal cortex
Correct Answer
A. A language acquisition deviceExplanation
A language acquisition device refers to the innate ability or mechanism that allows children to acquire language. It is a theoretical concept proposed by Noam Chomsky, suggesting that humans are born with a specialized cognitive ability specifically designed for language learning. This device enables children to make sense of language, understand its structure, and eventually master it. It is believed to be located in the brain and is responsible for the universal grammar that underlies all languages.Rate this question:

Stranger anxiety normally develops at what age?
-
Around six months
-
12 months
-
18 months
-
24 months
Correct Answer
A. Around six monthsExplanation
Stranger anxiety normally develops around six months of age. This is because infants at this stage start to recognize familiar faces and become more aware of their surroundings. They may become wary and anxious when encountering unfamiliar people, as they are still developing trust and attachment to their primary caregivers. This is a normal part of their social and emotional development and indicates that they are forming healthy attachments to their caregivers.Rate this question:

The idea that infant development follows the progression of neck, head, and arms followed by crawling and walking refers to:
-
Proximodistal development
-
Fine motor skill development
-
Milestones in Gross motor development
-
Cephalocaudal development
Correct Answer
A. Cephalocaudal developmentExplanation
Cephalocaudal development refers to the pattern of growth and development that starts from the head and moves downwards towards the feet. This concept suggests that infants first gain control over their neck, head, and arms before they are able to crawl and walk. This explanation aligns with the given correct answer, which states that the idea of progression from neck, head, and arms to crawling and walking refers to cephalocaudal development.Rate this question:
