Answer 1

28.d. doesnot understand conservation. Ethan is a 3 year old child. According to Jean Piagets theory of cognitive development, he belongs to Pre-operational stage(2-7 years), in which childs mode of thinking is quite illogical. His thinking is imaginative and far removed from reality. Conservation is a logical thinking ability which is not present in this age group. Conservation presents in concrete operational stage(7-12 years). Here, he thinks that if pizza is cutting into twelve piece rather than eight piece, he will get more pizzas to compensate his hunger.

29. d. nature of attachment between caretakers and babies. Mary Ainsworth devised an experiement called strange situation to determine nature of attachment behaviour and styles of attachment among infants of 12-18 months

Those securely attached infants were distressed when mother leaves, avided strangers, and were positive and happy when mother returned back. hence, opiton is c.

31. b. avoidant attached. Mary Ainsworth identified three main attachment styles among them such as secure type, insecure avoidant type and insecure resistant type.

24. b. embryonic. Embryonic week starts from 2-8 weeks during which embryo develops major physical structures such as heart, nervous system, limbs etc

25. c. sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operations. Jean Piaget(1970), a cognitive psychologist has developed theory of cognitive development, in which he has mentioned 4 stages for the development of thinking among children. The stages are  sensorimotor(birth-2 years), preoperational(2-7 years old), concrete operational(7-11 years), formal operations(adolescent-adulthood)

26. b. sensorimotor. During this stage, the child interacts with his environment through sensory and motor activities. He just starts reflex actions to the external stimuli named as sucking, looking, reaching and grasping

27. b. preoperational. During this stage, the child learns language and sensory-motor operations are replaced by words. His interaction with people and objects will be through language. Their thinking is imaginative and far removed from reality. They are unable to distinguish between living and non-living objects. They lack coservation, so he might felt that he has less clay now.
