A child throws a ball with speed and accuracy when he throws a ball to his teacher but his throws are slower and less accurate when plays with a group of friends. This difference is explained by

A. classical stage theory
B. probility theory
C. locomotion-x theory
D, Piaget,s Theorem

You are dealing with a subject with terminology that's highly specific to this subject alone.

What does your text give as definitions for these four terms?

Is a correct?

the corrent answer is B

B is the answer pg. 146.

The correct answer is D. Piaget's Theorem.

Piaget's Theorem refers to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development in children. According to this theory, children's cognitive abilities and skills develop in stages. One of the stages is the concrete operational stage, which typically occurs between the ages of 7 and 11.

During the concrete operational stage, children's thinking becomes more logical and organized. They begin to understand concepts like conservation (that quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance), classification (sorting objects into categories), and seriation (arranging objects in a sequence).

In the context of the child throwing a ball, Piaget's Theorem explains that the child's ability to throw with speed and accuracy to his teacher, but with less speed and accuracy when playing with a group of friends, is due to their level of cognitive development. When throwing to his teacher, the child may be more focused on the task and paying attention to the specific target, resulting in better accuracy. However, when playing with a group of friends, there may be more distractions or less focus on a specific target, leading to reduced speed and accuracy in throwing the ball.

So, option D, Piaget's Theorem, best explains the difference in the child's throwing behavior based on their cognitive development during the concrete operational stage.
