I need help, could someone please check my answers to these five questions below. If I answered any that were wrong, please help me to identify the right answer. Thank you.
3. Even though her mother-in-law insists she is wrong, Danielle knows that which of the following statements about her new baby is FALSE?
<Infants cannot express emotions for about the first month. (This is my choice)>
Infants show facial expressions that are similar to adults who are expressing emotions.
One of the earliest emotional expressions shown by infants is unhappiness.
All human beings share the same basic emotions.
4. Linda has learned that if she sits on the floor and cries, sooner or later an adult will give her a piece of candy. This is an example of
habituation.
classical conditioning.
<Operant Conditioning. (This is my choice)>
social learning.
10. Alfred has a mathematics background and believes strongly in quantitative measures of variables. Jeanne insists that many important developmental outcomes are more qualitative than numerical. It would appear that Alfred would favor the ___________ approach to studying cognitive development, whereas Jeanne is more ____________ in her views.
Piagetian, psychometric
<psychometric, Piagetian (This is my choice)>
behaviorist, psychometric
Piagetian, behaviorist
18. Amy knows that when she runs over and stands quietly by her grandfather's chair, he will reach over and tickle her under her chin. When a child learns to behave in a specific way to obtain a specific result, what is occurring?
<Habituation> (This is my choice)
classical conditioning
operant conditioning
social learning
19. Babies first wave their arms, then move their hands toward objects, and finally use their fingers. This sequence exemplifies which principle of development?
general-to-specific
<Cephalocaudal This is my choice
proximodistal
central-to-peripheral
My chioce for #3= <Infants cannot express emotions for about the first month. (This is my choice)>
My chioce for #4= operant conditioning. (This is my choice)
My chioce for #10= psychometric, Piagetian (This is my choice)
My chioce for #18= habituation (This is my choice)
My chioce for #19= cephalocaudal This is my choice
Your answer for questions 3, 4, and 10 is correct.
However, for question 18, the correct answer is "operant conditioning". Amy knows that when she stands quietly by her grandfather's chair, he will tickle her under her chin, which is a specific result. This is an example of operant conditioning where a behavior is influenced by its consequences.
For question 19, the correct answer is "proximodistal". This principle states that development proceeds from the center of the body outward. Babies first learn to control their arm movements, then their hands, and lastly, their fingers.
Let's go through your answers one by one and check if they are correct:
For question 3, you chose "<Infants cannot express emotions for about the first month.>" as the false statement. This is indeed the correct answer. Infants are capable of expressing emotions through facial expressions even in the first month of life.
For question 4, you chose "operant conditioning" as the correct answer. This is the correct choice. Linda's behavior of sitting on the floor and crying to get a piece of candy is an example of operant conditioning, as it involves learning through consequences (in this case, receiving candy).
For question 10, you chose "psychometric, Piagetian" as the favored approach for Alfred and Jeanne respectively. This is the correct answer. Alfred, with a mathematics background, would likely favor the psychometric approach, which emphasizes quantitative measures of variables. Jeanne, on the other hand, believes in more qualitative developmental outcomes, aligning with the Piagetian approach.
For question 18, you chose "habituation" as the correct answer. However, the correct answer is "operant conditioning." When a child learns to behave in a specific way to obtain a specific result, it is an example of operant conditioning, as the behavior is influenced by its consequences.
For question 19, you chose "cephalocaudal" as the correct principle of development. This is the correct answer. The sequence of babies waving their arms, then moving their hands towards objects, and finally using their fingers exemplifies the cephalocaudal principle of development, which refers to development occurring from head to toe.
To summarize, your answers for questions 3, 4, 10, and 19 are correct. However, your answer for question 18 is incorrect. The correct answer for question 18 is "operant conditioning."
