1 | P a g e EPPP DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY EXAM NEWEST 2024 -2025 ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE 120 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+ According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, a child who is able to generate multiple theories as to why something occurred and then arrive at one theory based on the evidence at hand is displaying: A. formal operational thought. B. preoperational thought. C. decentration. D. concrete operational thought. - ANSWER - A. Rationale : Piaget's theory of cognitive development identifies four developmental stages, roughly correlated with specific age ranges. As children progress through these stages, their methods of assimilating new information, accommodating existing cognitive structure s to new information, and mentally representing information in general become more sophisticated. The fourth and final stage, formal operational thought, begins at about the age of 12, though not everyone fully completes this stage. It involves the ability to think abstractly, reason logically and draw conclusions from available information. One characteristic of formal operational thought is hypothetico -deductive reasoning, which involves the ability to generate multiple theories for a phenomenon and choos e one theory over others based on reasoning and evidence 2 | P a g e The effects of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: A. are irreversible and long -term. B. remit within the first six months in about 25% of cases. C. are reversible if proper nutrition is provided to the child.

A. increased support from her husband B. depressive symptoms in her husband C. rejection by all family members D. overall improvement in the family's symptoms - ANSWER - B. Rationale : "Homeostasis" refers to the tendency for any system to react toward restoring the status quo in the event of any change. Homeostasis is automatically disturbed as individuals in a family grow into new developmental stages or "get better" after having had d epressive or other symptoms. Therefore, when someone recovers, to restore a homeostatic balance, family members may 3 | P a g e either sabotage the recovered member's improvement or become symptomatic themselves. Thus, if the woman's depressive symptoms improve, the concept of homeostasis would predict that depressive symptoms might develop in her husband Piaget believed that children are "spontaneous liars" and considered their false statements to be natural and harmless until about: A. Age 3 or 4 B. Age 4 or 5 C. Age 5 or 6 D. Age 7 or 8 - ANSWER - D. Rationale : Piaget thought that around age 7 or 8 children begin to intentionally communicate false statements. Subsequent research suggest that children as young as age four lie intentionally, most often to avoid punishment or obtain a reward. All of the following are true regarding the relationship between aging and memory, except: A. observed age -related cognitive and memory declines are believed to be due to artifacts of intelligence tests and experience, rather than physiological changes. B. the main locus of observed age -related decline in memory is in long -
