Most of your answers are correct.
However, I disagree with your answers for 1, 12. and 20.
1. Please check the definition of "positive reinforcer." It does not include "time out."
12. Competition is not an important function.
20. Is it divergent or convergent?
Also, check # 4. Is it divergent or convergent thinking?
i think number 4 is A
NUMBER 20 HAS TO BE D
AND NUMBER 12 IS D
Let's go through each question and check the answers:
1. When properly executed, the behavior management strategy known as time-out becomes:
Answer: A. a positive reinforcer.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand what time-out is. Time-out is a behavior management strategy where a child is temporarily removed from a reinforcing environment after exhibiting undesirable behavior. The purpose of time-out is to decrease the occurrence of that behavior. When properly executed, time-out can be viewed as a positive reinforcer because it removes the child from a potentially rewarding situation, decreasing the likelihood of the unwanted behavior.
2. Which of the following statements regarding the zone of proximal development is true?
Answer: D. It emphasizes the role of supportive adults in children's learning.
To find the correct answer, we need to understand what the zone of proximal development is. The zone of proximal development (ZPD) is a concept introduced by psychologist Lev Vygotsky. It refers to the gap between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with the assistance or guidance of a more knowledgeable other, such as a teacher or peer. The ZPD emphasizes the importance of supportive adults who can scaffold learning and provide the necessary guidance and assistance for children to reach their full potential.
3. The formation of children's core values is most strongly influenced by:
Answer: B. family.
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the significant factors that shape children's core values. While peers, elementary school teachers, and child care providers can play a role in a child's development, research suggests that the family has the strongest influence on the formation of a child's core values. The family is typically the primary socializing agent and is responsible for instilling values, beliefs, and behaviors in children.
4. During a science activity, you overhear a colleague asking a group of children, "How many different ways can you think of to build a bridge that will hold this weight?"
Answer: C. scaffolding.
To find the correct answer, we need to understand what is happening in the situation described. The colleague's question, "How many different ways can you think of to build a bridge that will hold this weight?" encourages the children to generate multiple ideas and solutions. This use of questioning to guide and support children's thinking process is an example of scaffolding, which refers to the instructional support provided by a more knowledgeable other to help a learner achieve their learning goals.
5. Anne lives in an extended family. That could mean that she:
Answer: C. spends time with each of her divorced parents.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand what is meant by "extended family" in this context. In this case, it refers to the situation where Anne lives with her parents and, in addition, spends time with each of her divorced parents. An extended family typically includes more than just the nuclear family (parents and children) and may include other relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, or in this case, divorced parents.
6. Many times, Barry seems to do things without thinking. He has a great deal of trouble waiting for things, and he frequently leaves his small group and interrupts others. Which exceptionality most closely resembles Barry's behavior?
Answer: D. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the behaviors described and match them to a possible exceptionality. Barry's impulsive behavior, difficulty waiting, and interrupting others are characteristic traits associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that commonly includes symptoms like impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulty with self-regulation.
