A child who is very active and enjoys the challenge of competing with others will be
more likely to join an athletic team at school than to join the chorus or the French Club.
This is an example of: - ANS niche-picking
A new understanding that has emerged from research in neuropsychology is that - ANS
biology impacts behavior, but the environment also affects biological functioning
According to your book, the basic set of principles that help us organize our
observations in order to understand and predict human development is called a(n): -
ANS theory
Aleia conducted a study to evaluate the effects of a toilet training program on the
number of accidents a preschooler had in her early childhood classroom. First, she
measured the number of accidents that occurred through the school day without any
intervention (baseline assessment). Then, she implemented a toilet training program.
Next, she stopped the program and returned to baseline procedures. Finally, Aleia
resumed the toilet training program. The data are presented below.
Based only on these data, what can Aleia conclude about the effects of the toilet
training program on the number of accidents? - ANS A functional relation is
demonstrated. The toilet training program is responsible for reductions in the number of
accidents
As a good consumer of developmental information, students are encouraged to: - ANS
question experts
Bronfenbrenner would say it is important we understand the individual - ANS within all
of the contexts that affect development.
Conor wants to evaluate the effect of different flavors of skittles on the hyperactivity of
his 12 siblings. He assigns them to different groups. The three oldest girls get lime, the
three oldest boys get lemon, the three youngest girls get cherry, and the three youngest
boys get grape. Each day, Conor evaluates each group's hyperactivity. The skittles are
an example of a(n): - ANS independent variable
Early in the semester Dr. DiGennaro Reed encouraged students to be skeptical when
consuming information about child development. What did she mean by this? - ANS
Judge the validity of a claim based on objective empirical evidence
Epigenetics is the term used to describe the system by which - ANS genes can be
turned on or silenced by different environmental experiences.
How do epigenetic changes promote survival? - ANS Genetic structures can change
quickly in response to the environment
, If a theory provides applicable guidance in solving daily problems of child rearing, it
satisfies which criteria for judging developmental theories? - ANS practicality
If we say that there is no one right way to raise a child, we are endorsing the principle of
- ANS equifinality
If you read that a correlational study has found that children who participate in more
extracurricular activities have higher self-esteem, you could conclude that - ANS
participation in extracurricular activities is associated with higher self-esteem.
In an experiment, the difference between the experimental group and the control group
is that - ANS the experimental group gets the special treatment under investigation
and the control group doesn't.
In the natural sciences, theory is derived from - ANS Scientific facts
It is important that scientific findings can be replicated. This means that - ANS others
have been able to repeat the research with the same or similar results.
Participants are randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group
in an experiment - ANS to help ensure that the two groups are not systemically
different from each other at the start of the experiment.
Pseudoscientific approaches involve with of the following: - ANS Reliance on
testimonials
Psychoanalytic theory focuses on the internal process of the mind, but learning theories
focus on - ANS observable behavior.
The below figure best depicts which of the following: - ANS Spurious correlation
between cheese consumption and bedsheet tanglings
The boy cried when his sister took his toy. This is an example of: - ANS description
The force that drives development - ANS can be biological processes, environmental
events, or a combination of both.
The influence of what we bring to development as a result of our genetic inheritance is
known as: - ANS nature
The structure labeled "A" in the below figure is: - ANS chromosome
We know that both nature and nurture play a role in development, but today we are
most interested in understanding - ANS how genes are expressed through the
constant interaction with the environment.
