Question 1: UnderstandingPauline ( 4 years) uses a banana to call her dad who is at work.At which stage of Piaget cognitive
development is she?
a. Sensorimotor stage
b. Formal operational stage
c. Preoperational stage
Answer: c
The sensorimotor stage: In this stage, infants progressively construct knowledge and understanding
of the world by coordinating experiences (such as vision and hearing) from physical interactions with
objects (such as grasping, sucking, and stepping)
The formal operational: abstract thought emerges during the formal operational stage. Children tend
to think very concretely and specifically in earlier stages, and begin to consider possible outcomes
and consequences of actions.
The preoperational stage: playing and pretending takes place in this stage. Children still have trouble
seeing things from different points of view. The children's play is mainly categorized by symbolic play
and manipulating symbols which is also the case in this example.
This is an understanding question because the student needs to link the example to prior knowledge
and recognize characteristics that apply to this specific example.

Question 2: Understanding
Which method is showed in the figure below?
a. The visual evoked potential
b. The preferential looking
c. The contrast sensitivity function
Answer: c
, A visual evoked potential is an evoked potential caused by a visual stimulus, such as an
alternating checkerboard pattern on a computer screen. Responses are recorded from
electrodes that are placed on the back of your head and are observed as a reading on an
electroencephalogram (EEG).
This is an understanding question because the student has to use prior knowledge and link it
to the picture and correctly understand the mechanisms of all three methods to be able to
choose the correct answer.

a. The mitotic division of neuronal cells to produce neurons
b. The movement of nerve cells to create nerve cells population
c. The mitotic division of nonneuronal cells to produce neurons.
