    Development in children is rarely sequential.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Development in children is rarely sequential because it is a complex and dynamic process that varies from child to child. Children may develop different skills and abilities at different rates and in different orders. For example, one child may develop language skills before motor skills, while another child may develop motor skills first. This non-linear pattern of development is influenced by various factors such as genetics, environment, and individual differences. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that development in children is always sequential.

    John Locke believed that development only begins at the time of birth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    John Locke, a philosopher from the 17th century, believed that development only begins at the time of birth. He argued that humans are born as a "blank slate" or tabula rasa, and that all knowledge and experiences are acquired through sensory perception and interaction with the environment. According to Locke, there is no innate knowledge or predetermined traits at birth, and individuals develop their understanding and abilities through their experiences and interactions after birth. Therefore, the statement "John Locke believed that development only begins at the time of birth" is true according to his philosophical perspective.
