You're very welcome.
1) In Piaget's theory, a symbol is closest to a(n) = Physical object. - The correct answer is A) mental representation. A symbol, in Piaget's theory, refers to a mental representation of an object, event, or concept that represents or stands for something else.
2. Regarding Erikson's concept of the "initiative versus guilt" developmental crisis, which of the following statements is FALSE? - The correct answer is C) Because this crisis is based on a behavioral theory, the conscience is irrelevant to it. The initiative versus guilt crisis in Erikson's theory is not solely based on behavioral theory but also involves the development of a sense of guilt and conscience.
3) Louise is 3 1/2 years old. Until recently Louise has had a good appetite and consumed appropriate amounts of food, but now it has become a daily battle to get her to eat properly. Louise has most likely reached the early childhood stage when appetite usually decreases. - Your choice of C) usually decreases is correct. During the early childhood stage, appetite typically decreases as growth slows down and children become more selective about their food choices.
4). According to Piaget, which of the following characteristics is NOT part of preoperational thought? - The correct answer is B) reversibility. Your choice of B) reversibility is correct. Reversibility is not part of preoperational thought. It is a characteristic of concrete operational thought, the stage that follows preoperational thought.
5). Playing alone (non-social) can be a sign of preference. - Your choice of B) preference is correct. Playing alone can be a sign that a child prefers solitary play or enjoys independent activities.
6). Stan seems to have a little cold off and on all winter. Her preschool teacher should probably NOT assume he is abused. - Your choice of B) assume he is abused is correct. It is not appropriate for a preschool teacher to assume that a child's occasional cold is due to abuse. It is important for the teacher to consider other factors, such as the child's health, environment, and family history, before making such assumptions.
