With growing concern and intake of information , a child may not be able to put new details into former mental bins and concept groups. When this occurs, a search for_____is stimulated

a. coherence
b. rules
c. consonance
d. definition

Would A be appropriate

Which one of the following examples is the first step in the cognitive process called categorization?

A. A child begins to ask "why" about almost everything he or she sees.

B. A child's early discovery that a four-legged creature is a "doggie" transfers later to applying the same label to a horse, cow, and elephant.

C. A child sees someone who dresses differently than most other children and concludes that the other person's way of dressing isn't appropriate.

D. A child learns that being "different" is not desirable

Is it C not sure?

Or B. for the second question..I'd go with B.

I agree

For the first question:

When a child is unable to integrate new information into existing mental categories, a search for coherence is stimulated. Coherence refers to the ability to create a logical and meaningful framework for understanding new information.

So, the answer would be A. coherence.

To arrive at this answer, consider the options given and analyze what each option represents. In this case, coherence best captures the idea of organizing and integrating new information into existing mental categories.

For the second question:

The first step in the cognitive process of categorization is typically demonstrated in option B. It describes a child's early discovery that a four-legged creature is labeled as a "doggie" and later applies the same label to a horse, cow, and elephant. This example illustrates how a child generalizes a category label based on shared characteristics (in this case, having four legs).

To answer this question correctly, it requires understanding the cognitive process of categorization, which involves grouping objects or ideas based on shared characteristics or features.
