What ideas did philosophers have about children and childhood?, 1.1.2. How did the modern science of child development emerge?, 1.3.2. How do heredity and environment influence development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Plato believed that experience could not be the source of knowledge because human senses are too fallible – argued that children are born with innate knowledge of many concrete objects as well as with knowledge of abstractions.
78
- In Plato's view, children's sensory experiences trigger knowledge they've had since birth. - Aristotle denied existence of innate knowledge and believed that knowledge is rooted in perceptual experience. - Aristotle believed that children gain knowledge piece by piece, based on information provided by their senses. - Plato believed very much in the "nature" side while Aristotle fell more on the "nurture" side. - Locke took Aristotle's "side" and believed in tabula rasa—children are a blank slate—experience moulds the infant, child, adolescent, and adult into a unique individual. - Rousseau took Plato's "side" and believed that newborns are endowed with an innate sense of justice and morality that unfolds naturally as child grows 2.

Now that she is older, whenever Gurmeet sees a soap opera on television, she starts to feel like she has a cold, even if she is perfectly healthy. How would Watson or Pavlov explain this situation? How is this similar to their research? QuestionID: 01-3-03 Page-Reference: 9-10 Topic: Foundational Theories of Child Development Skill: Applied Objective: 1.2.3. What is the focus of learning theories? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Pavlov and Watson would explain this situation using early learning theory. Specifically, Pavlov first described a type of learning called classical conditioning (where a previously neutral stimulus becomes associated with a naturally occurring response and eventually comes to elicit a similar response on its own). Watson used this type of learning to explain the conditioning of emotional reactions in humans, children in particular. In the
79
example given, the soap opera is the neutral stimulus because it normally wouldn't cause someone to feel like they have a cold (when they don't). But the soap operas are associated with her actually being sick (having a cold) and so seeing a soap opera actually elicits the response of feeling like she's getting sick. 4. Your sister Kumi is having problems with her two-year-old daughter. Your niece, Kayla, has been throwing tantrums to get her own way. As you watch Kumi and Kayla interact, you see that Kumi will say "no" to Kayla, Kayla will scream and cry, and then Kumi will give in to her. What can you tell Kumi about the principles of operant conditioning that might help her deal with the situation? QuestionID: 01-3-04 Page-Reference: 10 Topic: Foundational Theories of Child Development Skill: Applied Objective: 1.2.3. What is the focus of learning theories? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Kumi is reinforcing Kayla's behaviour, which means she's making it more likely that every time Kumi says "no" to her, Kayla will scream and cry. She is giving Kayla attention and giving her something that Kumi desires, increasing the tantrum behaviour. This is an example of positive reinforcement. Kayla needs to make sure she does not give in to this behaviour. 5. Explain Piaget's perspective on development and contrast it with the early learning theories of Watson and Skinner. QuestionID: 01-3-05 Page-Reference: 9-10, 12 Topic: Foundational Theories of Child Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.2.4. How do cognitive-developmental theories explain changes in children's thinking? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Piaget is well known for his cognitive-developmental perspective. He believed that children are like mini scientists, creating theories about their social and physical worlds. Because children expect certain things to happen, these theories they form are tested constantly. When the predicted events occur, a child's belief in their theory grows stronger. When they do not occur, the child revises their theory. He also believed that children will come to realize there are flaws in their theories as they develop and will revise these theories at certain points in their development. The revisions occur once at about age two, a second time at age seven and a third time right before adolescence. He separated the stages of development into four stages – sensorimotor (birth to two years), preoperational (2 to 7 years), concrete operational (7 to 11 years), and formal operational (adolescence and beyond). According to Piaget, children's thinking becomes more sophisticated as they get older. They start out with knowledge based on their senses and motor skills (sensorimotor), then learn to use symbols to represent aspects of the world while still having trouble understanding others' perspectives (preoperational), then start to understand and apply logical operations to experiences (concrete operational), and finally start to think abstractly, speculating on hypothetical situations and reasoning deductively (formal operational). Watson and Skinner's theories are classified as learning theories – the role of cognition was not relevant to Watson and Skinner. They were not interested in studying cognition as to them, it was not objective.
80
They were solely interested in studying behaviour and its consequences and the impact of environmental factors. Piaget believed cognition was extremely important. 6. Explain the concepts of positive and negative reinforcement and positive and negative punishment and give examples of each. QuestionID: 01-3-06 Page-Reference: 10 Topic: Foundational Theories of Child Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.2.3. What is the focus of learning theories? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Reinforcement is a consequence that increases the future likelihood of the behaviour that it follows. - Punishment is a consequence that decreases the future likelihood of the behaviour that it follows. - Positive means to add; negative means to take away. Therefore, positive reinforcement is adding something desired to increase a behaviour while negative reinforcement is taking away something undesired to increase a behaviour. - Positive punishment is adding something undesired to decrease a behaviour while negative punishment is taking away something desired to decrease a behaviour. - Examples: - positive reinforcement - Parents reward child for cleaning up her room by giving her a cookie. - positive punishment - Parents punish child for not cleaning up her room by shouting at her. - negative reinforcement - Parental nagging to "go clean your room" stops when the child starts cleaning up. - negative punishment - Child is not allowed to watch television that evening because she did not clean her room. 7.

QuestionID: 01-3-07 Page-Reference: 10-11 Topic: The Science of Child Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.2.3. What is the focus of learning theories? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Children may learn from watching those around them, which is known as observational learning. There are many examples that can be used here. Examples of how it can be helpful include exposure to prosocial models, exposure to role models who break stereotypes about a group they may be a part of (stereotypes are often limiting), using modelling to reduce fear of animals, watching a pianist in order to learn how to play the piano, etc. Examples of how it can be harmful include exposing a child to adults smoking, using foul language, engaging in violent behaviour, etc. 8.

By the end of the period, infant uses mental representations. - Preoperational stage - 2 to 7 years - Child learns how to use symbols, such as words and numbers, to represent aspects of the world, but relates to the world only through his or her own perspective. - Concrete operational - 7 to 11 years - Child understands and applies logical operations to experiences, provided the experiences are focused on the here and now. - Formal operational - Adolescence and beyond - Adolescent or adult thinks abstractly, speculates on hypothetical situations, and reasons deductively about what may be possible. 9.

Describe four themes or issues that often arise in the study of child development. QuestionID: 01-3-10 Page-Reference: 18-20 Topic: Themes in Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.3.4. Is development in different domains connected? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: 1) Continuity of Development - Concerns the predictability of development - Once a child starts down a particular developmental path, the child stays on that path throughout life - Includes the continuity-versus-discontinuity issue – which is about the relatedness of development: Are early aspects of development consistently related to later aspects? 2) Impact of Nature and Nurture - Nature-nurture issue – what roles do biology (nature) and environment (nurture) play in child development?
82
- Scientists once hoped to answer questions like this by identifying either heredity or environment as THE cause - We now know that virtually no aspect of child development is due exclusively to either heredity or environment – development is shaped by both 3) The Active Child - Active-passive child issue – are children simply at the mercy of their environment (passive child) or do children actively influence their own development through their unique individual characteristics (active child) - Today, we know that experiences are indeed crucial, though it's often it's a child's interpretation of experiences that shapes his or her development - A child's unique characteristics also may cause him or her to have some experiences but not others - Many researchers now consider that all relationships are a two-way street: it is not just the parents or other adults who influence the child – the child has influence too 4) Links Between Different Domains of Development - Development in different domains is always intertwined - e.g., cognitive and social development are not independent; advances in one area affects advances in the other 11. Your friends have a new baby girl named Kaoru and they have told you that they can't wait to raise her because they will create a wonderful environment that Kaoru will love. For example, they will never let Kaoru watch worthless shows on television, and she will love to read because they will read to her all the time when she is a baby. What can you tell your friends about the issue of the child being active versus passive in her development? QuestionID: 01-3-11 Page-Reference: 19 Topic: Themes in Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.3.3. What role do children have in their own development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Today, we know that experience is indeed crucial, but it's the child's interpretation of experiences that shapes their environment. A child's unique characteristics also may cause them to have some experiences but not others. For example, if their child Kaoru squirms a lot during the reading of books, your friends may not enjoy reading to Kaoru. As a result, they may not read as much, and Kaoru may not love books as much as they assume she will. Many researchers now consider that all relationships are a two-way street: It is not just the parents or other adults who influence the child – the child has influence too. 12. One day you and a friend are talking and your friend states, "Development is the result of the genes that you inherit, and those genes put you on a developmental path that stays the same throughout your life." What can you tell your friend about the issues of nature vs. nurture and continuity vs. discontinuity? QuestionID: 01-3-12 Page-Reference: 18-20 Topic: Themes in Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.3.1. How well can developmental outcomes be predicted from early life?, 1.3.2. How do heredity and environment influence development?
83
Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Development is not perfectly predictable. A friendly, intelligent child does not guarantee a friendly, intelligent adult, but the chances of a friendly, intelligent adult are greater than if the child had been obnoxious and foolish. - today we know that virtually no aspect of child development is due exclusively to either heredity or environment. Instead, development is always shaped by both: Nature and nurture interact. 13. Compare naturalistic observation to structured observation and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. QuestionID: 01-3-13 Page-Reference: 21-22 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.4.1. How do scientists measure topics of interest in children's development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Naturalistic observation involves the study of children in their own natural context. This could be their home, a local park, or some other familiar setting. By observing children in their normal surroundings, we can be confident that their behaviour is genuine and not influenced by artificial surroundings. The drawback with this type of research is that the researcher has no control over what kind of situations the child will encounter, and thus only gets an abbreviated view of the child's behaviour. - Structured observation involves the study of children in a situation that has been created to test how children behave under particular circumstances. Often this occurs in a laboratory. The advantage to this form of research is that it gives us precise information about how children behave in these situations. As well, it can be used to study behaviours that are rare or that typically occur in private settings. The drawback is that these laboratory situations are not natural for the child, and their responses may be influenced by the artificial nature of the task. 14. A researcher is interested in studying cooperative and competitive behaviour in siblings. How might he/she use (1) systematic observations and (2) self-reports to measure sibling behaviour? Explain each type of measure, and give an example of how each could be used to measure cooperation and competition between siblings. QuestionID: 01-3-14 Page-Reference: 21-24 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Applied Objective: 1.4.1. How do scientists measure topics of interest in children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Systematic observations involve watching children and carefully recording what they say or do. They can be either naturalistic observations (observing children as they behave spontaneously in some real-life situation) or structured observations (observing children in a setting the researcher has created that is likely to elicit the behaviour of interest). For example, a researcher might observe siblings in a naturalistic setting, such as a park or playground, and watch for spontaneously occurring occasions where the siblings behave cooperatively, such as taking turns pushing each other on swings, or competitively, such as racing to see who reaches a slide first.
84
Or a researcher might put children in situations that would be likely to elicit either cooperative or competitive behaviour. For example, they could be given a puzzle and told they would be rewarded if, together, they are able to complete it within a specified amount of time. Or they could each be given their own puzzle and be told that the one who finishes their puzzle first would be given a reward. - Self-reports involve children answering questions about the topic of interest. The questions and answers can either be given verbally (interview format) or in a written format (questionnaire). For example, a researcher might ask children how cooperative and competitive they are with their siblings. 15. Describe the problems of observer bias and observer influence. Using concepts from our textbook, discuss how these problems can be avoided. QuestionID: 01-3-15 Page-Reference: 23 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.4.1. How do scientists measure topics of interest in children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Observer bias occurs when a researcher tends to notice things that are consistent with his/her theory and tends not to notice things that are inconsistent with his/her theory. This is a problem because the researcher is likely to find evidence for the theory, even when no evidence exists. - Observer bias can be avoided or at least diminished, by establishing firm behavioural definitions and observation guidelines prior to the observations. - Observer influence occurs when a participant's behaviour is affected by their awareness of the fact that they are being observed. When children know they are being watched, they may act differently than when they are not aware that they are being watched. - Observer influence can be avoided by properly habituating participants before observing them. - Habituation refers to the participant "getting used to" the presence of the researcher. If they are properly habituated, children will not even notice the presence of the researcher and will presumably behave in the same way that they would normally behave unobserved. 16. Describe the correlational and experimental research designs. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each design. QuestionID: 01-3-16 Page-Reference: 26-27 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.4.2. What general research designs are used in child-development research? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Correlational: Observe variables as they exist in the world and determine their relations. * Strength: Behaviour is measured as it occurs naturally. * Weakness: Cannot determine cause and effect. - Experimental: Manipulate independent variable and determine effect on dependent variable. * Strength: Control of variables allows conclusions about cause and effect.
85
* Weakness: Work is often laboratory-based, which can be artificial. 17. Describe longitudinal and cross-sectional research designs. What are strengths and weaknesses of each design? QuestionID: 01-3-17 Page-Reference: 30-34 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.4.3. What designs are unique to the study of age-related change? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Longitudinal: One group of children is tested repeatedly as they develop. * Strength: Only way to chart an individual's development and look at the stability of behaviour over time. * Weakness: Expensive, participants drop out (sometimes selectively), examines only one cohort, and repeated testing can distort performance. - Cross-sectional: Children of different ages are tested at the same time. * Strength: Convenient, inexpensive, don't have participant drop-out because they're seen at only one time, don't have repeated testing effects. * Weakness: Cannot study stability of behaviour; cohort effects complicate interpretation of differences between groups. 18. Describe the key guidelines of ethical research. QuestionID: 01-3-18 Page-Reference: 35-36 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.4.4. What ethical procedures must researchers follow? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Seek to do research which benefits humanity - Minimize risks to research participants - Describe the research to potential participants so they can determine whether they wish to participate and obtain informed consent - Avoid deception. If participants must be deceived, provide a thorough explanation of the true nature of the research as soon as possible (debriefing) - Keep results anonymous (no names gathered) or confidential (names are gathered but not reported) - Give a debriefing afterward 19. Outline some ways that child-development researchers can contribute to sound family policy. QuestionID: 01-3-19 Page-Reference: 37-38 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual
86
Objective: 1.4.6. How does child-development research influence family policy? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Child-development researchers can help build understanding of children. They can evaluate government policies and programs (macrosystem influences), ensuring that they are based on factual knowledge derived from child-development research. As well, by providing reliable methods to measure impact, child-development researchers can help judge how families and children are affected by policies. Children cannot really represent their own interests in society and parents often lack the expertise and resources to do so. To fill the void, child-development experts may act as advocates, alerting policymakers to children's needs and arguing for family policy that addresses those needs. 20. Using an example from everyday life, explain why a correlation between two variables does not prove a cause and effect relation between the variables. QuestionID: 01-3-20 Page-Reference: 26-27 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Conceptual Objective: 1.4.2. What general research designs are used in child-development research? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: There is a positive correlation between the number of fire trucks at a fire and the number of deaths in the fire. In other words, the more fire trucks at a fire the more people who will die in the fire. However, it doesn't make sense to say that the fire trucks cause the deaths or that the number of deaths caused the presence of more fire trucks. In this case, a third variable, the size of the fire, leads to more fire trucks at the fire and the likelihood of more deaths in the fire. So, while the number of fire trucks and the number of deaths are correlated there is no cause-effect relation between the two variables. (Note: Students examples will vary, but the logic should be similar to the logic given in this example.) 21. A researcher wants to see if watching a violent movie leads to more aggressive behaviour in preschool children. How should the researcher proceed? Be sure to discuss sampling, assignment to conditions, and choice of independent and dependent variables. QuestionID: 01-3-21 Page-Reference: 25-30 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Applied Objective: 1.4.2. What general research designs are used in child-development research? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The researcher could use an experimental design. The participants should be a sample of preschool children who are similar in social class, IQ, etc. to population of interest (representative sampling). These children would be assigned randomly to one of two experimental conditions. In one condition, children would see a movie that contained many violent acts. In the other condition, children would see a movie about sharing that contained no violent acts. The type of movie that the children watched is the independent variable. After watching the movie, the children would be allowed to play in a room with toys. Structured observation would be used to determine if
87
the amount of aggressive behaviour while playing was related to the type of movie that the children had watched. Aggressive behaviour while playing (e.g., hitting, kicking, punching) is the dependent variable. 22. A researcher wants to examine the changes in the stability of friendship between first and third grade. Should the researcher use a cross-sectional or a longitudinal design? Give the advantages and disadvantages of each design. QuestionID: 01-3-22 Page-Reference: 30-34 Topic: Doing Child-Development Research Skill: Applied Objective: 1.4.2. What general research designs are used in child-development research? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: A longitudinal study would involve looking at children's friendships in Grade 1. Later, when the same children were in Grade 3, researchers could see how many friendships still existed. A cross-sectional study might involve asking a group of first-graders and a group of third-graders questions about the stability of their friendships. The main advantage of a cross-sectional research design is that it can be done in a relatively short period of time and at a much lower cost than a longitudinal study. The major disadvantage is that cohort effects may be present which make it difficult to draw conclusions about developmental change. The main advantage of longitudinal research designs is that actual stability and change can be studied. The major disadvantage of longitudinal studies is that they are expensive. Other disadvantages include the lack of sample constancy over the course of the study as participants drop out and the development of "test-wise" participants.

Chapter 02 Essay Questions 1. Discuss assisted reproductive technology. QuestionID: 02-3-01 Page-Reference: 43-44 Topic: Mechanisms of Heredity Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.1.1. What are chromosomes and genes? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Today, it is no longer experimental – used frequently in Canada and the United States. - Many new techniques are available. - Best-known method is in vitro fertilization, which is mixing sperm and egg together in a laboratory dish and then placing a few of these fertilized eggs in the mother's uterus. - If eggs are successfully fertilized, in about 24 hours they are placed in the mother's uterus and hopefully will implant in uterine wall. - The social and emotional development of those conceived through these techniques is perfectly normal. - Only about one-third of these attempts at IVF succeed - There is a higher rate of multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins or triplets) - It is very expensive – provincial differences, with Quebec funding all infertility treatments and Ontario funding one IVF treatment per woman in her lifetime 2.

How are they inherited? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points:
49
- Genes come in different forms called alleles. - The alleles in a pair of chromosomes are sometimes the same, which makes them homozygous. - The alleles in a pair of chromosomes sometimes differ, which makes them heterozygous. - If a person is homozygous for a trait, such as eye colour, the genotype produces the phenotype. - If a person is heterozygous for a trait, the phenotype produced depends on which allele is dominant. - If one allele is dominant, its chemical instructions are followed whereas those of the other, the recessive allele, are ignored. 4. Your friends Shania and Ricky are expecting a baby. Both Shania and Ricky are farsighted and have cheek dimples. Shania and Ricky have said that they hope that their baby won't need to wear glasses or have cheek dimples because they both hate their glasses and dimples. What can you tell them about genetic inheritance and the likelihood that they will get their wish? QuestionID: 02-3-04 Page-Reference: 43-46 Topic: Mechanisms of Heredity Skill: Applied Objective: 2.2.2. What are dominant and recessive traits? How are they inherited? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell Shania and Ricky that both farsightedness and cheek dimples are dominant traits. That means that an individual who is heterozygous with one dominant allele and one recessive allele will still show the dominant trait. Given that both Shania and Ricky show the dominant traits, they both must have at least one allele for the dominant trait so the likelihood that their baby will NOT have the dominant traits of farsightedness and cheek dimples is small. 5. Why are African Canadians more likely to inherit sickle-cell disease? QuestionID: 02-3-05 Page-Reference: 43,44,46,47,48,49 Topic: Heredity, Environment, and Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.2.1. What methods do scientists use to study the impact of heredity and environment on children's development?, 2.2.2. How do heredity and environment work together to influence child development? Answer: African Canadians are more likely to inherit sickle-cell disease because the sickle cell has a benefit: Individuals with this allele are more resistant to malaria. Therefore, in parts of the world (such as Africa) where malaria is found you are also more likely to find individuals carrying this trait. Having two alleles for sickle-cell disease has devastating consequences to the carrier. However, having only one sickle cell allele results in a person who is more resistant to malaria and yet suffers from the disorder only when put under extreme conditions (in instances of low oxygen). Therefore, having sickle-cell trait is quite adaptive in Africa. However, it has no adaptive value in Canada and accordingly we are seeing fewer and fewer individuals with sickle-cell trait in successive generations of African Canadians. 6.

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - If parents fear that their children may inherit serious or fatal disorders, they may seek the help of a genetic counsellor before conception. - A genetic counsellor constructs a detailed family history that can be used to decide whether it's likely that either the man or the woman carries the allele for the disorder they're worried about. - Tests can also be administered after a woman is pregnant to determine whether the fetus she is carrying has an inherited disorder. 8. Describe phenylketonuria. What is it, its causes, its symptoms, and treatment? QuestionID: 02-3-08 Page-Reference: 48,49,57,61 Topic: Mechanisms of Heredity Skill: Factual Objective: 2.2.2. What are dominant and recessive traits? How are they inherited?, 2.3.3. What disorders are inherited? Which are caused by too many or too few chromosomes? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder in which babies are born lacking an important enzyme. It is caused by two recessive alleles found on chromosome 12. The missing enzyme is one that breaks down phenylalanine, an amino acid. Without the enzyme, phenylalanine accumulates, damaging the nervous system and leading to delayed mental development. PKU can be controlled by diet by avoiding products that contain phenylalanine. With a special diet, intellectual disability can be avoided.

The other day I heard someone say "There is no such thing as twins who are brother/sisters (mix-sex twins)." What would you have said if you had been there? QuestionID: 02-3-10 Page-Reference: 52,54 Topic: Heredity, Environment, and Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.2.1. What methods do scientists use to study the impact of heredity and environment on children's development? Answer: You could have told him/her that he/she was thinking about monozygotic twins. These twins are the result of one fertilized egg that has divided. Therefore monozygotic (or monozygotic) twins have the exact same genes—so they must also be the same sex. However, dizygotic twins come from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm. These twins have the same genetic overlap as full brothers and sisters, but just as you can have a boy and a girl in the same family, you can also have mix-sex dizygotic (dizygotic) twins. 11. Explain how (a) twin studies and (b) adoption studies are used to determine the influence of heredity on a trait and discuss a potential flaw of each type of study.

QuestionID: 02-3-11 Page-Reference: 51,54,55,56,58 Topic: Heredity, Environment, and Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.2.1. What methods do scientists use to study the impact of heredity and environment on children's development?, 2.2.2. How do heredity and environment work together to influence child development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: (a) Twin studies compare monozygotic and dizygotic twins to determine the influence of heredity. Monozygotic or monozygotic twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits in two, and they have the same genes. Dizygotic or dizygotic twins come from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm and share, on average, about half their genes just like regular siblings. In a twin study, if monozygotic twins are more alike than dizygotic twins on a particular trait or behaviour, it suggests that heredity influences that trait or behaviour. Potential flaw: Parents and other people may treat monozygotic twins more similarly than they treat dizygotic twins. This would make monozygotic twins more similar than dizygotic twins in their experiences as well as in their genes. (b) In adoption studies, adopted children are compared to their adoptive parents and their biological parents. Adoptive parents have provided the child's environment. Biological parents provided the child's genes. If children are more similar to their biological parents than to their adoptive parents on a particular trait or behaviour, it suggests that genes influence that trait or behaviour. Potential flaw: Adoption agencies may try to place children in homes like those of their biological parents. This can bias adoption studies because biological and adoptive parents end up being similar. 12. Explain what is meant by a reaction range and give an example of how a reaction range might work. QuestionID: 02-3-12 Page-Reference: 57 Topic: Heredity, Environment, and Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.2.2. How do heredity and environment work together to influence child development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Reaction range: The same genotype can produce a range of phenotypes, in reaction to the environment where development takes place. For example, individuals with the genotype for phenylketonuria (PKU) lack an enzyme that breaks down the amino acid, phenylalanine, which is found in many foods that children regularly eat. If phenylalanine is ingested, it will accumulate in the child's body, damage the nervous system and lead to delayed mental development. If, though, the child is placed on a diet that limitsphenylalanine, the disease does not emerge and the nervous system develops normally. 13. You and a friend were talking about the role of heredity and environment and your friend said, "Heredity is destiny. When someone inherits genes for bad diseases there is nothing about the environment that can change the negative effects." What can you tell your friend about the interaction of heredity and environment in cases such as those involving individuals with phenylketonuria? QuestionID: 02-3-13

Page-Reference: 51,57 Topic: Heredity, Environment, and Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.2.1. What methods do scientists use to study the impact of heredity and environment on children's development?, 2.2.2. How do heredity and environment work together to influence child development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell your friend that heredity is not destiny. One can inherit a particular genotype, but that genotype can interact with a particular environment to change the phenotype. In the case of phenylketonuria (PKU), an individual may inherit the gene for PKU. Typically, the individual lacks an enzyme that breaks down phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is found in many foods such as meats and dairy products. When the phenylalanine is not broken down it builds up and produces toxins that damage the nervous system, which leads to intellectual disability. However, if the environment is changed so that the amount of phenylalanine in a child's diet is reduced, then the damage to the nervous system does not occur and normal intelligence occurs. In other words, the same genotype for PKU can interact with two different environments (either a regular diet or a lowphenylalanine diet) to lead to two very different outcomes (either normal intelligence or intellectual disability). So, even in the case of a negative, inherited disorder the environment can still play an important role in shaping the environment. 14. Explain the general properties of the paths from genes to behaviour. QuestionID: 02-3-14 Page-Reference: 56-59 Topic: Heredity, Environment, and Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 2.2.2. How do heredity and environment work together to influence child development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The behavioural consequences of genetic instructions depend on the environment in which those instructions develop. Reaction range: The same genotype can produce a range of phenotypes, in reaction to the environment where development takes place. - Heredity and environment interact dynamically throughout development. - Genes can influence the kind of environment to which a child is exposed. Niche-picking: The process of deliberately seeking environments that fit one's heredity. - Environmental influences typically make children within a family different. Nonshared environmental influences: The environmental forces that make siblings different from one another.

QuestionID: 03-3-02 Page-Reference: 62-69 Topic: From Conception to Birth Skill: Applied Objective: 3.1.1. What happens to a fertilized egg during the first two weeks after conception?, 3.1.2. When do body structures and internal organs emerge during prenatal development?, 3.1.3. When do body systems begin to function well enough to support life? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Tell Chloe that even though people often refer to the three trimesters of pregnancy they do not correspond to the three stages of prenatal development. The first stage of prenatal development is called the period of the zygote and it lasts from conception until two weeks after conception. Rapid division of the cells and differentiation of the cells characterize this period. The period of the zygote ends when the zygote is completely implanted in the lining of the wall of the uterus. The second period is called the period of the embryo and it lasts from the third week to the eighth week after conception. During this period of prenatal development, most of the organs and systems of the body are formed. The third period is the period of the fetus. This period lasts from nine weeks until 38 weeks after conception. During this final period, the fetus grows from four to eight ounces to its birth weight of seven to eight pounds. Many of the bodily systems that were formed during the period of the embryo are refined during the period of the fetus to prepare the fetus for life outside the uterus. An insulating layer of fat

also develops during this period. 3. Briefly discuss the period of the zygote. QuestionID: 03-3-03 Page-Reference: 63-65 Topic: From Conception to Birth Skill: Factual Objective: 3.1.1. What happens to a fertilized egg during the first two weeks after conception? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Begins with fertilization and lasts about two weeks. - Ends when fertilized egg, called a zygote, implants itself in the wall of the uterus. - During these two weeks, the zygote grows rapidly through cell division and travels along the fallopian tube toward the uterus. - Within hours, the zygote divides for the first time; after that, division occurs every 12 hours. - After about 4 days, the zygote comprises about 100 cells, resembles a hollow ball, and is called a blastocyst. - By the end of the first week following conception, the zygote reaches the uterus. - Then implantation occurs; the blastocyst burrows into the uterine wall and establishes connections with the mother's blood vessels. - Implantation takes about a week to complete and triggers hormonal changes that prevent menstruation. - A small cluster of cells near the centre of the blastocyst, the germ disc, eventually develops into a baby while the other cells are destined to become structures that support, nourish, and protect the developing organism. - Layer of cells closest to the uterus becomes the placenta, a structure for exchanging nutrients and wastes between mother and developing organism (i.e., baby). 4. Briefly discuss the period of the embryo. QuestionID: 03-3-04 Page-Reference: 65-66 Topic: From Conception to Birth Skill: Factual Objective: 3.1.2. When do body structures and internal organs emerge during prenatal development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Once the blastocyst is completely embedded in the uterine wall, it is called an embryo. - This period typically begins the third week after conception and lasts until the end of the eighth week. - During this period, body structures and internal organs develop. - At the beginning of the period, three layers form in the embryo—the outer layer (ectoderm), the middle layer (mesoderm), and the inner layer (endoderm). - Growth and specialization proceed so rapidly that the eight-week-old embryo looks very different from the three-week-old embryo. - The brain and nervous system developing rapidly, and the heart has been beating for nearly a month. - Most of the organs found in a mature human are in place in some form (except sex organs). - Embryo rests in an amniotic sac, which is filled with amniotic fluid that cushions the embryo and maintains a constant temperature.
75
- The embryo is linked to the mother by the umbilical cord (houses blood vessels that join the embryo to the placenta). - In the placenta, the blood vessels from the cord run close to the mother's blood vessels but aren't actually connected to them, instead the blood flows through the villi—finger-like projections from the umbilical blood vessels (allow nutrients, oxygen, vitamins and waste products to be exchanged between mother and embryo). 5.

When do body systems begin to function well enough to support life? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points; - Final and longest phase of prenatal development. - Extends from the ninth week after conception until birth. - Finishing touches are put on the body systems that are essential to human life, such as nervous, respiratory, and digestive systems. - At four weeks after conception, a flat set of cells curls to form a tube—one end of the tube swells to form the brain; the rest forms the spinal cord. - During this period, all regions of the brain grow, particularly the cerebral cortex. - Near the end of the embryonic period, male embryos develop testes and female embryos develop ovaries. - During fifth and sixth months after conception, eyebrows, eyelashes, and scalp hair emerge. The skin thickens and is covered with a thick greasy substance called vernix, which protects the fetus during its long time in the amniotic fluid. - By about six months after conception, fetuses vary in their usual heart rates and in how much their heart rate changes in response to physiological stress. - By 22 to 28 weeks, most systems function well enough that a fetus born at this time has a chance to survive, which is why this age range is called the age of viability. 7.

What can you tell Chloe
76
about stress during pregnancy? QuestionID: 03-3-07 Page-Reference: 70-74 Topic: Influences on Prenatal Development Skill: Applied Objective: 3.2.1. How is prenatal development influenced by a pregnant woman's nutrition, the stress she experiences while pregnant, and her age? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - First, try not to worry too much! The majority of negative effects of stress on pregnancy apply to women who experience chronic stress. Occasional, relatively mild anxiety shouldn't have any harmful consequences for prenatal development. If Chloe isn't able to control the stress she is experiencing (if it turns from acute to chronic), then there may be some potentially harmful effects. Women who report greater anxiety during pregnancy more often give birth early or have babies who weigh less than average. The children may be less able to pay attention as infants and be more prone to behavioural problems as preschoolers. - Increased stress can harm prenatal development in several ways. First, the body will secrete hormones that reduce the flow of oxygen to the fetus while simultaneously increase its heart rate and activity level. Second, stress can weaken a pregnant woman's immune system. Third. pregnant women under stress are more likely to smoke or drink alcohol, and less likely to rest, exercise and eat properly. Fourth, stress may produce epigenetic changes in which genes that help children to regulate their behaviour are made less effective. 8. Chloe is concerned that her baby will not be healthy when it is born. She is wondering if there is anything she can do that will help ensure that her baby will be okay. What advice can you give Chloe about the steps that she can take toward a healthy baby? QuestionID: 03-3-08 Page-Reference: 70-74 Topic: From Conception to Birth Skill: Applied Objective: 3.2.1. How is prenatal development influenced by a pregnant woman's nutrition, the stress she experiences while pregnant, and her age? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Chloe should visit her health care provider for regular prenatal checkups. Chloe also should eat a healthy diet that contains food from the five major food groups. Her diet also should include sufficient vitamins and minerals such as iron and folic acid. Cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and food additives should be avoided. Chloe should exercise during pregnancy to keep her body fit. During the last two months of pregnancy, Chloe should get enough rest. Finally, she should take prepared childbirth classes to help her prepare for labour and delivery. 9. Chloe is concerned about the amount of weight that she will gain during pregnancy. She doesn't want to get "too fat." She has heard of women who gain only 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) while pregnant and they wear their pre-maternity clothes home from the hospital. What can you tell Chloe about weight gain during pregnancy?

QuestionID: 03-3-09 Page-Reference: 70-74 Topic: Influences on Prenatal Development Skill: Applied Objective: 3.2.1. How is prenatal development influenced by a pregnant woman's nutrition, the stress she experiences while pregnant, and her age? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Chloe should not try to keep her weight gain to only 10 pounds. Pregnant women should increase their caloric intake by about 10-20 percent. Assuming that Chloe is an average-weight woman, she should plan to gain 11 to 16 kilograms during pregnancy. Even a woman who is overweight before becoming pregnant should at least 7 kilograms. About one-quarter of this gain reflects the increased weight of the uterus, the placenta, and the fluid in the amniotic sac; another quarter comes from increases in a woman's breasts and energy stores; yet another quarter comes from the increased volume of blood fluids and protein; the final quarter is the weight of the baby Remind Chloe that a healthy, full-term baby weighs between 3.5 and 4 kilograms. In other words, Chloe should plan to gain more than 10 pounds even if it means that she can't wear her pre-pregnancy clothes home from the hospital. 10. Discuss the pros and cons associated with older women (sometimes using reproductive technologies) becoming pregnant. QuestionID: 03-3-10 Page-Reference: 70-74 Topic: Influences on Prenatal Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 3.2.1. How is prenatal development influenced by a pregnant woman's nutrition, the stress she experiences while pregnant, and her age? Answer: PROS: Women are able to complete their education and begin a career. Older women are effective mothers. They are able to provide sensitive and responsive caregiving. CONS: Older women are less fertile. They are more likely to have miscarriages and they are more likely to give birth to babies with Down syndrome. When mothers have babies at very late ages (in their 60s) they are more likely to die before their children are full grown (for example, the woman who had twins at 66 but died at age 69). 11.

79
Skill: Applied Objective: 3.2.2. What is a teratogen, and what specific diseases, drugs, and environmental hazards can be teratogens? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Exposure to PCBs prenatally has been linked to impaired memory and verbal skill. Furthermore, in some areas of heavy industrial chemical production (such as Sarnia, Ontario) high concentrations of PCBs, dioxins, and HCBs were found in the soil. It seems that these contaminants are affecting sex ratios in such a way that fewer boys are being born each year. Collaborating evidence has also been reported from some Inuit communities in Arctic villages. Therefore, cleaning up the environment doesn't just help the planet, it helps the children who will inherit it. 15. What are five general principles governing the influence of teratogens on prenatal development? QuestionID: 03-3-15 Page-Reference: 80-83 Topic: Influences on Prenatal Development Skill: Conceptual Objective: 3.2.3. How exactly do teratogens affect prenatal development, and what effects do they have on the continuing development of the child? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The impact of a teratogen depends upon the genotype of the organism. - The impact of teratogens changes over the course of prenatal development. - Each teratogen affects a specific aspect (or aspects) of prenatal development. - The impact of teratogens depends on the dose. - Damage from teratogens is not always evident at birth but may appear later. 16. Describe ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus sampling and the kind of information that can be obtained from each. QuestionID: 03-3-16 Page-Reference: 83-86 Topic: Influences on Prenatal Development Skill: Factual Objective: 3.2.4. How can prenatal development be monitored? Can abnormal prenatal development be corrected? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Ultrasound is a procedure using sound waves to generate a picture of the fetus. It can be used to determine the position of the fetus in the uterus, its sex, multiple pregnancies, and gross physical deformities. - In amniocentesis, a needle is inserted through the mother's abdomen to obtain a sample of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus. The fluid contains skin cells that can be grown in a laboratory dish and then analyzed to determine the genotype of the fetus. It is used to detect genetic disorders. - In chorionic villus sampling, a sample of tissue is obtained from the chorion, part of the placenta, and analyzed to detect genetic disorders.

17. Describe the three stages of labour and delivery. QuestionID: 03-3-17 Page-Reference: 86-88 Topic: Happy Birthday! Skill: Factual Objective: 3.3.1. What are the stages in labour and delivery? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Stage 1 * Begins when the muscles of the uterus start to contract. * Contractions cause the cervix to enlarge—goes from 0 to 10 centimetres. * At the beginning of this stage, contractions are weak and spaced irregularly. They become stronger and more frequent. * During the transition phase, contractions are intense and sometimes occur without interruption. * Stage 1 lasts for 12 to 24 hours during the birth of a first child. * Stage 1 is usually shorter for later-born children. - Stage 2 * Begins when the cervix is fully enlarged. * Most women feel a strong urge to push the baby out, using their abdominal muscles. * This pushing, along with uterine contractions, pushes the baby down the birth canal. * The top of the baby's head soon appears (crowning). * In about an hour or less, the baby passes through the birth canal and emerges from the mother's body. * The baby's birth marks the end of the second stage of labour. - Stage 3 * The placenta is expelled from the uterus. * This stage is brief, usually lasting 10-15 minutes. 18. Chloe wonders how long her labour will last. She has heard stories about women whose labours are so short that they had their babies in the back of a car or an elevator. What can you tell Chloe about the typical length of labour for a first-born child? QuestionID: 03-3-18 Page-Reference: 86-88 Topic: Happy Birthday! Skill: Applied Objective: 3.3.1. What are the stages in labour and delivery? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell Chloe that the average length of Stage 1 of labour for a first-born baby ranges from 12 to 24 hours. Stage 2 usually lasts about an hour for first-borns. These times are only rough approximations; the actual times vary greatly among women and are virtually impossible to predict. 19. Chloe is in her sixth month of pregnancy and she isn't sure if she should take the prepared childbirth classes that are being offered at the local hospital. The class meets for three hours every Monday night

for six weeks and that looks like a big-time commitment to Chloe. What can you tell Chloe about the benefits of prepared childbirth classes? QuestionID: 03-3-19 Page-Reference: 88-89 Topic: Happy Birthday! Skill: Applied Objective: 3.3.2. What are "natural" ways of coping with the pain of childbirth? Is childbirth at home safe? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Proponents of childbirth classes argue that birth is more likely to be problem-free and rewarding when mothers and fathers understand what is happening during pregnancy, labour, and delivery. Consequently, prepared childbirth means going to classes to learn basic facts about pregnancy and childbirth. Another purpose of childbirth classes is to teach the mother-to-be strategies to manage the pain of labour without the use of drugs. During these classes, pregnant women are taught to relax using deep breathing. Visual imagery, in which a pleasant event or reassuring scene is pictured, also is used to encourage relaxation. A supportive coach can contribute to relaxation by providing encouragement during labour. 20. What are some birth complications? Briefly describe the key features of each. QuestionID: 03-3-20 Page-Reference: 91 Topic: Happy Birthday! Skill: Conceptual Objective: 3.3.1. What are the stages in labour and delivery? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Cephalopelvic disproportion: The infant's head is larger than the pelvis, making it impossible for the baby to pass through the birth canal. - Irregular position: In shoulder presentation, the baby is lying crosswise in the uterus, and the shoulder emerges first. In breech position, the buttocks appear first. - Preeclampsia: A pregnant woman has high blood pressure, protein in her urine, and swelling in her extremities (due to fluid retention). - Prolapsed umbilical cord: The umbilical cord precedes the baby through the birth canal and is squeezed shut, cutting off oxygen to the baby. 21. Chloe gives birth and is worried that her newborn is not healthy. How might the doctors evaluate Chloe's baby?

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points:
82
- The doctors will likely calculate the baby's Apgar score (a measure devised by obstetrical anesthesiologist Virginia Apgar which is used to evaluate a newborn baby's condition). - This will involve looking for five vital signs: breathing, heartbeat, muscle tone, presence of reflexes (e.g., coughing), and skin tone in Chloe's newborn. - Each of the five vital signs receives a score of zero, one or two, with two being optimal (maximum score of 10 on the Apgar) - The Apgar score will allow doctors a quick, approximate assessment of the status of Chloe's newborn. - The doctors might also conduct a more comprehensive evaluation of Chloe's newborn to check the baby's well-being—the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) —which is used with newborns to two-montholds to provide a detailed portrait of the baby's behavioural repertoire. - The NBAS includes 28 behavioural items along with 18 items that test reflexes. - Chloe's newborn will be tested and the baby's performance is used to evaluate the functioning of four systems: Autonomic (e.g., breathing); motor (e.g., body movements); state (e.g., staying alert); and social (e.g., ability to interact with people). 22. Name and describe four infant behavioural states. QuestionID: 03-3-22 Page-Reference: 97-100 Topic: The Newborn Skill: Factual Objective: 3.4.3. What behavioural states are observable in newborns? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Alert inactivity: The baby is calm with eyes open and attentive; the baby looks as if he is deliberately inspecting his environment. - Waking activity: The baby's eyes are open but they seem unfocused; the baby moves her arms or legs in bursts of uncoordinated motion. - Crying: The baby cries vigorously, usually accompanied by agitated but uncoordinated motion. - Sleeping: The baby's eyes are closed and the baby drifts between periods when breathing is regular and the baby is still, to periods when breathing is irregular and the baby gently moves its arms or legs.

Discuss the two distinct trends that children's growth follows. QuestionID: 04-3-01 Page-Reference: 105-108 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Conceptual Objective: 4.1.1. What are the important features of physical growth during childhood? How do they vary from child to child? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The two distinct trends are cephalocaudal and proximodistal. - Cephalocaudal literally means "head to tail"—a general neuronal maturation from head to foot. - Proximodistal means close in to farther out—maturation from the centre of the body to the extremities.
54
- Control of gross (overall) muscular movement develops before finer control of the extremities (e.g., hands and feet). 2. Your friend Lafon has a newborn son named Lamar. Lamar was a healthy full-term infant who weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces at birth. While you and Lafon are shopping for clothes for Lamar in a very expensive children's store, you notice that Lafon is loading her cart with lots of 0- to 3-month size clothes. You ask Lafon if she thinks it's a good idea to spend so much money on clothes that Lamar will outgrow very quickly. What can you tell Lafon about physical growth during the first year of life that may change her mind about these clothes? QuestionID: 04-3-02 Page-Reference: 105-108 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.1.1. What are the important features of physical growth during childhood? How do they vary from child to child? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The first year of life is a time of very rapid physical growth. The average baby will grow 25 centimeters and will gain 7 kilograms during the first year of life. If Lafon buys clothes that fit Lamar perfectly now, he probably won't be able to fit in them in a few short weeks. After telling these facts to Lafon, you might want to ask her if she will get her money's worth out of these expensive little outfits. Fortunately, this rapid growth does taper off and Lafon might want to buy more expensive clothes when Lamar is older and is not growing so quickly. 3. Julian is very concerned about the amount of sleep that his infant is getting. He is very strict about his infant's sleep schedule and insists that sleep is fundamental to his baby's growth and well-being. Would you agree or disagree? Discuss. QuestionID: 04-3-03 Page-Reference: 108-110 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.1.2. How do sleep and nutrition contribute to healthy growth? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Julian is correct, sleep is extremely important to a baby's growth. - Sleep is essential because about 80 percent of the hormone that stimulates growth (growth hormone) is secreted while children and adolescents sleep. - Sleep also affects children's psychological development—they may be more prone to behavioural problems if they don't get enough sleep. - Children also do less well in school if they aren't getting enough sleep (although this isn't necessarily applicable to the infant right now, it shows the importance of sleep). 4. What are some recommended guidelines for dealing with picky eaters?
55
QuestionID: 04-3-04 Page-Reference: 108-110 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Factual Objective: 4.1.2. How do sleep and nutrition contribute to healthy growth? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - When possible, allow children to pick among different healthy foods. - Allow children to eat foods in any order they want. - Offer children new foods one at a time and in small amounts. - Encourage but don't force children to eat new foods. - When children reject a new food, continue to offer it over several meals so that it will become familiar. - Don't force children to "clean their plates." - Don't spend mealtimes talking about what the child is or is not eating; instead talk about other topics that interest the child. - Never use food to reward or punish children. - Show children photos of same-age, same-sex peers who look happy when eating the target food. 5. You want to prepare your child for her approaching puberty by discussing physical changes associated with puberty. What are the first signs that puberty has begun and what physical changes will occur later? Discuss the characteristics of puberty for girls and for boys. QuestionID: 04-3-05 Page-Reference: 111-116 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.1.3. What are the physical changes associated with puberty, and what are their consequences? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Girls: * Puberty begins with the growth of the breasts and the growth spurt, followed by the appearance of pubic hair. * During the growth spurt, a girl may gain 9 kilograms in a year. * Although there is variation, menstruation typically begins around the age of 13. - Boys: * Puberty begins with the growth of the testes and scrotum, followed by the appearance of pubic hair, the start of the growth spurt, and growth of the penis. * During the growth spurt, a boy may gain 11 kilograms in a year. * Most boys have their first spontaneous ejaculation at about age 13. 6. Research has shown that maturing early or late has psychological consequences that differ for boys and girls. Discuss. QuestionID: 04-3-06 Page-Reference: 111-116 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Conceptual
56
Objective: 4.1.3. What are the physical changes associated with puberty, and what are their consequences? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Several longitudinal studies have shown that early maturation can be harmful for girls - Girls who mature early often lack self-confidence, are less popular, are more likely to be depressed and to have behaviour problems, and are more likely to smoke and drink. - Possibly because early maturation may lead girls to relationships with older boys and these girls not prepared to cope with the demands of these mature relationships – may be pressured into sex, become teenage mothers, etc. - As adults, may have less prestigious, lower-paying jobs. - But the harmful effects of early maturation can be offset by other factors – e.g., when early maturing girls have warm, supportive parents, they are less likely to suffer the harmful consequences of early maturation. - Maturing early can be harmful for boys too - Early-maturing boys are at risk for psychological disorders such as depression. - Also, they are more prone to substance abuse and to inappropriately early sexual activity. - May cause problems with peer relationships (because their friends have not matured at same rate). - May then spend more time with older boys (exposing them to risky behaviour). - Effects of early maturation are weaker for boys than they are for girls. - For boys and girls, maturing late poses few risks - Late-maturing girls fare well - Late-maturing boys are at a somewhat greater risk for depression. 7. You have an 11-year-old daughter and your best friend has an 11-year-old son. Your friend thinks that your daughter has entered puberty and is wondering when his son will begin puberty and what physical events will occur during puberty. What can you tell your friend about puberty in general and the differences in onset of puberty in boys and girls? QuestionID: 04-3-07 Page-Reference: 111-116 Topic: Physical Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.1.3. What are the physical changes associated with puberty, and what are their consequences? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Puberty is characterized by many physical changes that usually begin at age 11 in girls and at about age 13 in boys. The adolescent growth spurt is a period of very rapid growth when adolescents put on both height and weight. This growth spurt usually lasts about a few years. In girls, puberty begins with the growth of the breasts, then the start of the adolescent growth spurt, the emergence of pubic hair, and finally the onset of menstruation, or menarche, which usually occurs around age 13. For boys, puberty usually begins with the growth of the testes and scrotum, followed by the appearance of pubic hair, the start of the growth spurt, and growth of the penis. Because girls tend to begin puberty at earlier ages than do boys, it is quite likely that your daughter has entered puberty and that your friend's son has not. Tell your friend not to worry because his son has not yet reached the average age at which boys enter puberty. 8. What are the characteristics of malnourishment and how should it be treated?
57
QuestionID: 04-3-08 Page-Reference: 117-118 Topic: Challenges to Healthy Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.2.1. What is malnutrition? What are its consequences? What is the solution to malnutrition? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Characteristics: * Malnourishment is indicated by being small for one's age. * Malnourishment happens in third world countries and in industrialized nations. * Malnourishment is particularly dangerous during infancy because growth is so rapid at that time. * Malnutrition affects intelligence and the ability to pay attention. * Malnourished children tend to be listless, inactive, unresponsive, and lethargic. - Treatment: * The most successful treatments involve both improving a child's diet and parent training to teach them how to provide experiences that foster their children's development. 9. Your friend sees you buying baby food and formula for the food bank and says "I don't think many babies end up at food banks!" What would you tell her about malnutrition in Canada and about the importance of early nutrition on growth? QuestionID: 04-3-09 Page-Reference: 117-118 Topic: Challenges to Healthy Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.2.1. What is malnutrition? What are its consequences? What is the solution to malnutrition? Answer: A good answer will resemble the following: Almost 1 in 7 Canadian children lives in poverty. Children accounted for 37 percent of food bank users in Canada in 2008. Malnourishment is very damaging during infancy because growth is occurring so quickly during these years. When children have a history of being malnourished, they often have difficulty maintaining attention in school and are easily distracted. Therefore, ensuring that young children do not go without food is very important for their cognitive development. 10. Your friend Freja is the mother of a 13-year-old daughter, Yvonne. Freja is concerned that Yvonne is anorexic because she "eats like a bird." What can you tell Freja about the causes and symptoms of anorexia that will help her identify if Yvonne is anorexic? QuestionID: 04-3-10 Page-Reference: 118-119 Topic: Challenges to Healthy Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.2.2. How do nature and nurture lead some adolescent girls to diet excessively? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Tell Freja that the typical anorexic is an adolescent female like Yvonne. Teenagers at greater risk of an eating
58
disorder include those who have a childhood history of eating problems, such as being a picky eater or being diagnosed with pica. Teenagers who have negative self-esteem or mood or anxiety disorders are also at risk. The most important risk factors for adolescents, though, are being overly concerned about one's body and weight and having a history of dieting. Even if Yvonne and her family match this description, she may not be anorexic. An anorexic will limit food intake to such a great extent that she will become painfully thin but will perceive herself as being overweight. If Yvonne shows any of these signs, she should seek medical treatment right away. If left untreated, anorexia can lead to death. 11. What are some things that correlate with obesity and what are the features of effective weight-loss programs? QuestionID: 04-3-11 Page-Reference: 120-122 Topic: Challenges to Healthy Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.2.3. Why do some children become obese? How can they lose weight permanently? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Correlates: * Unpopular with peers * Low self-esteem * Poor performance in school * Medical problems including high blood pressure and diabetes - Weight-loss programs should have the following features in common * The focus should be to change children's eating habits, encourage them to become more active, and discourage sedentary behaviour. * Children should learn to monitor their eating, exercise, and sedentary behaviour. Goals are established in each area, and rewards are earned when goals are met. * Parents are trained to help children set realistic goals and to use behavioural principles to help children meet these goals. Parents also monitor their own lifestyles to make sure they aren't fostering their child's obesity. 12. Your friend Dorothy is upset because her adopted 13-year-old daughter is overweight, and she is worried about the impact of the extra weight on her daughter's health. No one else in the family has a weight problem. What can you tell Dorothy about the influence of heredity and environment on one's weight? What advice can you give Dorothy about weight loss in children? QuestionID: 04-3-12 Page-Reference: 120-122 Topic: Challenges to Healthy Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.2.3. Why do some children become obese? How can they lose weight permanently? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Tell Dorothy that heredity plays an important role in juvenile obesity. Adopted children's weight is related to the weight of their biological parents and not to the weight of their adoptive parents. Genetic influence may contribute to obesity by determining a person's activity level and one's basal metabolic rate (the speed with
59
which the body consumes calories). A less active person with a slower basal metabolic rate will be more likely to be overweight than someone who is active and has a faster basal metabolic rate. Dorothy may also be providing an environment that encourages her daughter to eat even when she is not hungry. For example, many parents encourage their children to clean their plates at the dinner table even though the child may be full. An effective weight loss program should involve a focus on changing the child's eating habits and encouraging her to become more active, and to discourage sedentary behaviour. The child should also learn to monitor her eating, exercise, and sedentary behaviour. On reaching a goal, she could be offered a reward. As well, Dorothy could be trained to help her daughter set realistic goals and to use behavioural principles to help meet her goals. It would be a good idea for Dorothy to monitor her own lifestyle to be sure she isn't accidentally fostering her child's obesity. 13. Your friends have an 18-month-old who often becomes fussy when he is in his car seat for long periods of time so they will take him out of the car seat. What can you tell your friends that might make them change their minds about this unsafe practice? QuestionID: 04-3-13 Page-Reference: 122-124 Topic: Challenges to Healthy Growth Skill: Applied Objective: 4.2.4. How do diseases and accidents threaten children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell your friends that accidental deaths are the most common cause of death in young children in North America. Furthermore, the most common cause of accidental death is motor vehicle accidents. Many of these motor vehicle deaths could have been prevented if the children had been restrained in an approved car seat. When children aren't restrained, they often are thrown through the windshield or onto the road, which causes fatal injuries. If your friends' son becomes fussy in his car seat on long trips, a better solution to his fussiness is to stop and take a break rather than removing him from his car seat while the car is in motion. 14. Describe neurons, cell bodies, dendrites, and axons. QuestionID: 04-3-14 Page-Reference: 125-126 Topic: The Developing Nervous System Skill: Factual Objective: 4.3.1. What are the parts of a nerve cell? How is the brain organized? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The neuron is a cell that specializes in receiving and transmitting information and is the basic unit in the brain and the rest of the nervous system. - The cell body is the centre of the neuron, containing basic biological machinery that keeps the neuron alive. - The dendrite is the receiving end of a neuron, and it looks like a tree with many branches. - The axon is a tube-like structure at the opposite end of the neuron from the dendrite, and it sends information to other neurons. 15. What methods have scientists used to map functions onto particular brain regions?
60
QuestionID: 04-3-15 Page-Reference: 126-131 Topic: The Developing Nervous System Skill: Conceptual Objective: 4.3.2. When is the brain formed in prenatal development? When do different regions of the brain begin to function? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Studies of children with brain damage—Children who suffer brain injuries provide valuable insights into brain structures and function in that if a region of the brain regulates a particular function, damage to that region should impair the function. - Studies of electrical activity—If a region of the brain regulates a function, then the region should show distinctive EEG (electroencephalogram) patterns while a child is using that function. - Studies using imaging techniques—Functional magnetic resonance imaging (f-MRI) uses magnetic fields to track the flow of blood in the brain as participants perform different cognitive tasks. 16. Describe the behaviours regulated by each of the following regions of the brain: left hemisphere, right hemisphere, frontal cortex. QuestionID: 04-3-16 Page-Reference: 125-131 Topic: The Developing Nervous System Skill: Factual Objective: 4.3.1. What are the parts of a nerve cell? How is the brain organized?, 4.3.2. When is the brain formed in prenatal development? When do different regions of the brain begin to function? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The left hemisphere controls the ability to produce and understand language, to reason, and to compute. The right hemisphere regulates artistic and musical abilities, perception of spatial relationships, and ability to recognize faces and emotions. The frontal cortex controls personality and the ability to make and carry out plans, and the ability to inhibit responses that are no longer appropriate. It also regulates feelings such as happiness, sadness, and fear. 17. Define experience-expectant growth and experience-dependent growth. Give examples of each. QuestionID: 04-3-17 Page-Reference: 130 Topic: The Developing Nervous System Skill: Conceptual Objective: 4.3.2. When is the brain formed in prenatal development? When do different regions of the brain begin to function? Answer: A good answer will resemble the following: Experience-expectant growth refers to the fact that in human evolution, infants have typically been exposed to certain types of stimuli at specific points in development. This stimulation helps to strengthen some connections
61
in the brain and eliminate others (use it or lose it). The example given in the text is that a seed depends on a water-filled environment to grow properly—the young brain depends on a stimulating environment to do the same. There are many examples where an under stimulating environment resulted in poor cognitive growth (Genie; the children being raised in understaffed orphanages). Experience-dependent growth refers to changes in the brain that are not linked to specific points in development and that vary across individuals and across cultures. Some examples might include learning to play an instrument, learning to speak a second language, learning complicated physical movements involved in dance or gymnastics, etc.

QuestionID: 05-3-01 Page-Reference: 135-138 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.1. Are newborn babies able to smell and taste? Do they respond to touch and experience pain?, 5.1.2. How well do infants hear? How do they use sounds to understand their world? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Habituation is when babies pay less and less attention to a stimulus as it becomes more familiar. - Infants usually prefer novel stimuli to familiar stimuli. - Researchers use habituation to study perception by repeatedly presenting a stimulus (e.g., a low-pitched tone) until a baby barely responds (they habituate). - Then they present a second stimulus (e.g., a higher-pitched tone). - If infant responds strongly, then researchers conclude that the baby can distinguish between the two stimuli (i.e., the baby can perceive the differences). 2. Describe what is known about how well infants can smell, taste, and feel. QuestionID: 05-3-02 Page-Reference: 135-138 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.1. Are newborn babies able to smell and taste? Do they respond to touch and experience pain? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Smell: * Highly developed at birth. * Infants respond positively to pleasant smells and negatively to unpleasant smells. * Infants can recognize mother's breast milk odour by two weeks of age. - Taste: * Highly developed at birth. * Infants can distinguish between salty, sour, bitter, and sweet tastes. * Most infants prefer sweet tastes. - Touch:

* Infants are sensitive to touch at birth. * Many areas of an infant's body respond reflexively to touch. * Babies can experience pain. 3. Shane doesn't think that the senses are functioning in babies who are only a few weeks old. What can you tell Shane about the sense of taste? QuestionID: 05-3-03 Page-Reference: 135-138 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.1. Are newborn babies able to smell and taste? Do they respond to touch and experience pain? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Even very young infants have a highly developed sense of taste. They can tell the difference between sweet, salty, bitter, and sour tastes. In fact, infants seem to react to those tastes in ways that are similar to adults' reactions. For example, most infants will smile and lick their lips while drinking a sweet substance. Infants also grimace after tasting sour and bitter substances. 4. What is auditory threshold and how is it tested in infants? QuestionID: 05-3-04 Page-Reference: 138 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.2. How well do infants hear? How do they use sounds to understand their world? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Auditory threshold refers to the quietest sound that a person can hear. - In one method, the infant is seated on a parent's lap while both parent and baby wear headphones, as does an observer seated in another room. - The observer watches the baby through an observation window. - An experimenter periodically presents tones to the baby over the headphones; neither the observer nor the parent knows when the tones are presented (they can't hear them). - The observer judges whether the baby responds in any fashion, such as by turning their head or altering facial expression - If the baby heard the tone, the observer should have noted a response only when a tone was presented. 5. Your friends Jack and Jill are the parents of a new baby boy. Jill has relatives who have some hearing impairment so they are worried about their son's hearing. What can you tell Jack and Jill about the signs of hearing impairment that they should watch for in their son? QuestionID: 05-3-05 Page-Reference: 138 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Applied
57
Objective: 5.1.2. How well do infants hear? How do they use sounds to understand their world? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The first sign of hearing impairment that parents should look for in a newborn is a lack of response to sudden, loud noises. Second, repeated ear infections might be a sign of damage to the ear. Third, by nine months a baby with normal hearing should turn its head in the direction of sounds and respond to its own name. Fifth, by 12 months a baby with normal hearing should begin to imitate speech sounds. Jack and Jill should watch for these signs and seek treatment immediately for any hearing impairment. If hearing impairment is recognized and dealt with at an early age, a child's cognitive and social development will be normal. 6. Based on what you know about the infant's visual system, how would you decorate a child's nursery so that it is consistent with the young infant's visual ability? Include information on acuity and pattern perception. QuestionID: 05-3-06 Page-Reference: 138-140 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Applied Objective: 5.1.3. How accurate is infants' vision? Do infants perceive colour? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Visual acuity is defined as the smallest pattern that can be distinguished dependably. The visual acuity in newborns is very poor so any visual stimuli (such as a mobile in a crib) would need to be placed close to the infant. At least in the first few months, infants wouldn't care much about colours since they can perceive few. Infants like to look at patterns that resemble faces. In fact, some manufacturers make mobiles and other infant toys that contain drawings of faces. 7. Discuss what is known about infant visual acuity and colour perception. QuestionID: 05-3-07 Page-Reference: 138-140 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.3. How accurate is infants' vision? Do infants perceive colour? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Visual acuity: * Newborns and one-month-olds see at 6 metres what normal adults see at 60 to 120 metres. * Infant visual acuity is about the same as a normal adult's by one year of age. - Colour perception: * Infants detect wavelength–and therefore colour–with specialized neurons called cones that are in the retina of the eye. * Neural circuitry for perceiving colour gradually begins to function in the first few months after birth. * Newborns can perceive few colours, but by three months can see the full range of colours. 8. Compare how a one-month-old infant and a three-month-old infant would look at a face. Are infants
58
innately attracted to faces? Explain your answer. QuestionID: 05-3-08 Page-Reference: 138-140 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.3. How accurate is infants' vision? Do infants perceive colour? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Young babies (one-month-olds) look mostly at the outer edges of a face. By three months of age, babies focus almost entirely on the interior of the face, particularly the eyes and lips. Some scientists assert that babies are innately attracted to stimuli that are face-like. They argue that there is some aspect of the face—perhaps two eyes and a mouth in the correct arrangement—that constitutes a distinctive stimulus that is readily recognized, even by newborns. Newborns turn their eyes to follow a moving face more than they turn their eyes for nonface stimuli, supporting the view that infants are innately attracted to faces. At four weeks, though, infants begin to track all moving stimuli, not just faces. One idea is that newborns' face tracking is a reflex, based on primitive circuits in the brain, that is designed to enhance attention to facelike stimuli. Whether or not face preference is truly innate, early development of face-recognition skill is adaptive, since it provides the basis for social relationships that infants form during the rest of the first year. 9. Discuss Bahrick and Lickliter's intersensory redundancy theory. QuestionID: 05-3-09 Page-Reference: 140-142 Topic: Basic Sensory and Perceptual Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.1.4. How do infants integrate information from different senses? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Infant's perceptual system is particularly attuned to amodal information that is presented to multiple sensory modes. - Certain information is amodal in that it can be presented in different senses. - The theory proposes that perception is best—particularly for young infants—when information is presented redundantly to multiple senses. - When an infant sees and hears the mother clapping (visual, auditory information), she focuses on the information conveyed to both senses and pays less attention to information that is only available in one sense, such as the colour of the mother's nail polish. 10.

59
Skill: Factual Objective: 5.2.1. How do infants perceive objects? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Linear perspective: Parallel lines come together at a single point in the distance - Texture gradient: The texture of objects changes from coarse but distinct for nearby objects to finer and less distinct for distant objects - Interposition: Nearby objects partially obscure more distant objects - Relative size: Nearby objects look substantially larger than objects in the distance 11. Discuss what is known about infant depth perception and the visual cliff, drawing on the research by Gibson and Walk. QuestionID: 05-3-11 Page-Reference: 143-147 Topic: Complex Perceptual and Attentional Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.2.1. How do infants perceive objects? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Depth perception: * The visual cliff, a glass-covered platform with a deep side and a shallow side under the glass, has been used to assess infant depth perception. * Visual cliff experiments suggest that infants can perceive depth by the time they are old enough to crawl. * Babies as young as one and a half months can detect a difference between the shallow and deep sides of the visual cliff (as evidenced by heart rate deceleration, a sign of interest), but only older, crawling babies are actually afraid of the deep side (as evidenced by heart rate acceleration, a sign of fear). Infants infer depth using several kinds of cues: retinal disparity, linear perspective, texture gradient, relative size, and interposition. 12. Your friends Elmo and Dawn have a three-year-old daughter, Courtney. Dawn stays at home with Courtney during the day while Elmo is at work. Often in the evening, Courtney will say "Mom, Mom, Mom" repeatedly before Dawn responds to her. Elmo cannot understand why Dawn keeps ignoring Courtney. When Courtney says "Dad" he always responds right away. How would you explain what's happening using what you know about the selective nature of attention, orienting responses, and habituation? QuestionID: 05-3-12 Page-Reference: 147-149 Topic: Complex Perceptual and Attentional Processes Skill: Applied Objective: 5.2.2. What are the components of attention? How do they develop? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: When people are first presented with a stimulus (such as someone calling "Mom") they show an orienting response. They may startle, look toward the stimulus (in this case, Courtney), and respond. When a stimulus is repeated over and over people will eventually habituate. In other words, they will pay less attention to the
60
stimulus with repeated exposure. Habituation indicates that attention is selective—with repeated exposure people begin to ignore stimuli that once attracted their attention. In the case of Dawn and Courtney, Dawn hears Courtney say "Mom" hundreds of times during the day before Elmo gets home from work. Dawn has habituated to the stimulus of Courtney saying "Mom" so by evening she often does not pay much attention to this stimulus. Elmo, however, has not been around Courtney as much and has not habituated to her saying "Dad." Dawn isn't being a bad mother but is showing the selective nature of attention. 13. Discuss the symptoms, causes, and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). QuestionID: 05-3-13 Page-Reference: 149-150 Topic: Complex Perceptual and Attentional Processes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 5.2.3. What is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? How does it affect children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Symptoms * Inattention * Hyperactivity * Impulsivity - Causes * Heredity contributes. * Research does not support a connection between TV, food allergies, sugar, or poor home life and ADHD. - Treatment * Stimulant drugs, such as Ritalin. * Teaching children to learn to regulate their behaviour and attention. * Reinforcing children for inhibiting impulsive and hyperactive behaviour. * There is no "quick fix"; ADHD requires ongoing monitoring and treatment. 14. Fred and Wilma's five-year-old son, Frank, has just been diagnosed as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Fred and Wilma believe that now that Frank is taking the drug Ritalin everything will be fine. What can you tell Fred and Wilma about other treatments for ADHD? QuestionID: 05-3-14 Page-Reference: 149-150 Topic: Complex Perceptual and Attentional Processes Skill: Applied Objective: 5.2.3. What is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? How does it affect children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Although Ritalin helps ADHD children calm down, it is not the only approach. Prosocial treatments can help children regulate their behaviour and attention. For example, children should be taught to remind themselves to read instructions before starting assignments. Children also need to be reinforced for inhibiting impulsive behaviour. There may be helpful home-based intervention and intensive summer programs. ADHD should probably be considered a chronic condition, monitored and treated on an ongoing basis.

15. Your friend Carter is concerned that his daughter is not crawling at eight months even though the books say she should be. He asks you about it, indicating they've done everything "by the books" including always putting his daughter "back-to-sleep" to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome … see Chapter 3 as well). He wonders if her late crawling will have long-term developmental consequences. What would you tell him? QuestionID: 05-3-15 Page-Reference: 151-154 Topic: Motor Development Skill: Applied Objective: 5.3.1. What are the component skills involved in learning to walk, and at what age do infants typically master them? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: European and North American infants are crawling at older ages today than they once did. This could be a consequence of the "back-to-sleep" campaign that advocates putting children to sleep on their backs to reduce the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Because today's infants spend less time on their tummies, they have fewer opportunities to develop arm strength and to learn to propel themselves forwards or backwards (creeping). However, Carter should not be alarmed. This will not have any long-term consequences for his daughter and the benefits of reducing the risks of SIDS far outweigh any consequences for late crawling. In some traditional African cultures, infants sit and walk at younger ages because infants are commonly carried by their parents in the piggyback style, which helps develop muscles in the infants' trunk and legs. The Kipsigis of Kenya help children learn to sit by having them sit while propped up. The mothers of the West Indians of Jamaica have an elaborate exercise routine that allows babies to practise walking. Infants with these opportunities learn to sit and walk earlier. In contrast, the Ache, an Indigenous group in Paraguay, protect infants and toddlers from harm by carrying them constantly. In Chinese cities, parents often allow their children to crawl only on a bed surrounded by pillows, in part because they don't want their children crawling on a dirty floor. In both cases, infants reach motor milestones a few months later than the average. Because today's babies spend less time on their tummies, they have fewer opportunities to discover that they can propel themselves by creeping, which would otherwise prepare them for crawling. Cultural practices can accelerate or delay the early stages of motor development, depending on the nature of practice that infants and toddlers receive. In the long run, however, the age of mastering various motor milestones is not critical for children's development. All healthy children learn to walk, and whether this happens a few months before or after the "typical" ages shown in Figure 5-8 has no bearing on children's later development. 16. Your friend Alex and Katya have noticed that their nine-month-old daughter, Mariana, often uses her left hand to pick up objects. Alex and Katya are both right-handed, and they wonder why Mariana may be showing signs of being left-handed. What can you tell your friends about the roles of heredity and environment in the development of hand preference? QuestionID: 05-3-16 Page-Reference: 154-156 Topic: Motor Development Skill: Applied Objective: 5.3.2. How do infants learn to coordinate the use of their hands? When and why do most children begin to prefer to use one hand?
62
Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Young infants use their left and right hands equally so it is unlikely that Mariana's use of her left hand now will predict her later hand preference. By 12 months, most children start to show a preference for one hand over the other. Throughout the preschool years, preference for one hand becomes stronger and more consistent so that by the time the child enters kindergarten hand preference is well established. Heredity does influence handedness. Identical twins are more likely than fraternal twins to have the same handedness. Given that both Alex and Katya are right-handed, it is less likely that they have genes for left-handedness to pass along. Experience also plays a role in the development of hand preference and modern industrial cultures favour right-handedness. Given that Mariana has two right-handed parents who are likely to encourage right-handed behaviour, she will probably become right-handed, but it is too early to tell 17.

Are children physically fit? Do they benefit from participating in sports? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Offer physical education more frequently each week (as opposed to once a week) - Offer a range of activities in which all children can participate, and which can be the foundation for a lifelong program of physical fitness (e.g., walking, running, swimming) - Emphasize these lifetime physical fitness activities (e.g., walking, running, swimming, racquet sports) more than team sports (e.g., touch football) - Encourage families to promote fitness at home 18. Your neighbour has just accepted a coaching position for a children's soccer team. This is his first time as a coach, and he is not sure whether to be really tough on the children to make them better, like some of his former coaches, or whether to be a "nice guy" like some of his other coaches, who didn't seem to care about winning at all costs.

63
- Be a good communicator. - Understand children's minds and tailor instructions appropriately. 19. Kimiko wants her children to be more active. What advice can you give her? QuestionID: 05-3-19 Page-Reference: 157-159 Topic: Motor Development Skill: Applied Objective: 5.3.3. Are children physically fit? Do they benefit from participating in sports? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Kimiko should consider signing her children up for organized sports. Children involved in organized sports are more active than those who are not. Also, children are highly influenced by the activity level of their parents. So, if Kimiko wants her children to be more active, she should try to be more active herself.

QuestionID: 06-3-01 Page-Reference: 162-164 Topic: Setting the Stage—Piaget's Theory Skill: Conceptual Objective: 6.1.1. What are the basic principles of Piaget's theory of cognitive development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Assimilation occurs when new experiences are readily incorporated into a child's existing theories. - For Piaget, accommodation occurs when a child's theories are modified based on experience. - Assimilation and accommodation are usually in balance, or equilibrium. - Children can readily assimilate most experiences into their existing theories, but occasionally they need to accommodate their theories to adjust to new experiences. - Periodically, the balance is upset and a state of disequilibrium results; children discover that their current theories are not adequate because they are spending much more time accommodating than assimilating. - When disequilibrium occurs, children reorganize their theories to return to a state of equilibrium, a process that Piaget called equilibration. 2.

How does thinking change as children move through Piaget's four stages of development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Sensorimotor Stage (birth to 2 years): Infants' knowledge of the world is based on senses and motor skills. By the end of the period, the infant uses mental representations and understands object permanence. - Preoperational Stage (2 to 6 years): Children learn how to use symbols such as words and numbers to represent aspects of the world but relate to the world only through their own perspective. - Concrete Operational Stage (7 to 11 years): Children understand and apply logical operations to experiences, provided they are focused on the here and now. - Formal Operational Stage (adolescence and beyond): Adolescents and adults think abstractly, speculate on

hypothetical situations, and reason deductively about what may be possible. 4. Your friend Andre is the father of a 12-month-old daughter, Brooke. Mealtime has become a very frustrating time for Andre because Brooke repeatedly pushes her sippy cup and different foods that she is eating off the high chair and onto the floor. The first time that she did this it appeared to Andre that it was an accident but now he is convinced that his daughter is deliberately pushing her cup and food onto the floor to annoy him. Based on what you know about infants being active experimenters, what can you tell Andre that might make him feel better? QuestionID: 06-3-04 Page-Reference: 162-168 Topic: Setting the Stage—Piaget's Theory Skill: Applied Objective: 6.1.1. What are the basic principles of Piaget's theory of cognitive development?, 6.1.2. How does thinking change as children move through Piaget's four stages of development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You should tell Andre that Brooke is in the sensorimotor period of cognitive development and, more specifically, she is at the age when infants become active experimenters. These actions represent a significant extension of intentional behaviour, as babies repeat actions with different objects (e.g., cup, food) solely for the purpose of seeing what will happen. Her behaviour is NOT meant to annoy Andre. Knowing that this behaviour is a normal part of cognitive development may help Andre's anger and frustration as he mops the floor. 5. You are the parent of two young children, ages four and six years. They have been playing outside and they come running inside asking for a drink. All of the drinking glasses in the house, except two, are dirty. One of these glasses is tall and narrow and the other is short and squat. You KNOW that your children will argue with each other if one thinks that the other child is getting more to drink. Based on your knowledge of conservation of liquid in preoperational children, what should you do to avoid an argument? Explain your answer. QuestionID: 06-3-05 Page-Reference: 164-168 Topic: Setting the Stage—Piaget's Theory Skill: Applied Objective: 6.1.2. How does thinking change as children move through Piaget's four stages of development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Both of your children are in the preoperational period of cognitive development. You know from your knowledge of Piaget's theory that children who are in the period of preoperational thinking cannot do conservation of liquid tasks. These children will focus narrowly on the height of the liquid without considering the circumference of the container. If you give your children equal amounts of juice but use the tall, thin glass and the short, squat glass, they will focus on the height of the juice and will conclude that the child with the tall, narrow glass received more juice than the other child. To avoid an argument, fill the glasses so that the height of the liquid is the same in both glasses. 6. Recently your friend Martha took her sons to a hands-on children's museum. Martha noticed that her
53
eight-year-old son and her 12-year-old son interacted with some of the displays in very different ways. One display involved opening doors to safes by determining the correct combination. Each safe had three, four, or five buttons that had to be pressed in a particular order to open the door. Martha's eightyear-old son randomly pushed the buttons and never found the correct combinations to any of the safes. Martha's 12-year-old son approached the task in a very systematic manner, trying all possible combinations of buttons until the doors opened. Now Martha is concerned that there is something wrong with her younger son. What can you tell Martha about the differences in concrete operational and formal operational thought that might explain her sons' behaviour? QuestionID: 06-3-06 Page-Reference: 164-168 Topic: Setting the Stage—Piaget's Theory Skill: Applied Objective: 6.1.2. How does thinking change as children move through Piaget's four stages of development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The behaviour of Martha's sons fits Piaget's description of formal operational thought very well. According to Piaget, children who are 12 years old would be in the period of formal operations. Formal operational children use more sophisticated, logical, deductive reasoning to solve problems like the safe problem. However, concrete operational children (such as the eight-year-old) use haphazard trial-and-error and often do not successfully solve problems like the safe problem. Concrete operational children are more likely to try to solve problems like this by randomly pushing buttons, but formal operational children can think deductively about the possible, logical combinations before attempting the button pushing. In time, Martha's younger son also will use deductive reasoning and will solve the safe problem like his older brother. 7. What are some commonly accepted weaknesses of Piaget's theory?

54
Objective: 6.2.1. In Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, how do adults and other people contribute to children's cognitive development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Vygotsky would argue that the teacher's main goal is to scaffold learning—not doing the question for the child, but not leaving the child to do it on his or her own. The teacher needs to determine the student's current level of thinking and provide suggestions, questions, or activities that help the child further his or her understanding. In addition, Vygotsky's view that learning is cooperative should influence the kinds of classroom activities that are carried out. We would expect to see lots of examples of peer tutoring and group work, as well as students working with more competent partners (which could be a peer or a teacher). 9. You have been watching your friend Deb trying to teach her son Sean how to do a puzzle. Sean has done this puzzle many times and he usually just needs help with the pieces that are in a difficult area that is all black. Deb is trying to help Sean but her instructions would be appropriate for a child who has never done the puzzle before. What can you tell Deb about Vygotsky's theory, in general, and scaffolding, in particular, that might help her teach Sean in more effective ways? QuestionID: 06-3-09 Page-Reference: 171-175 Topic: Modern Theories of Cognitive Development Skill: Applied Objective: 6.2.1. In Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, how do adults and other people contribute to children's cognitive development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: According to Vygotsky's principle of zone of proximal development, Sean will do better on the puzzle if he is assisted by someone who has more puzzle-building expertise than he does. Deb does have more puzzle-building experience so she could be a good teacher. However, according to the concept of scaffolding, a skilled teacher will gauge her instruction to the learner's needs. In other words, a beginner should get more instruction than someone who is close to mastering a task. Sean is close to mastering this puzzle and Deb should stop giving so much instruction and should only provide help on the section where Sean needs help. 10.

Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Piaget's theory is a single comprehensive theory whereas information processing (IP) represents a general approach encompassing many different theories. - Piaget's theory is more comprehensive than IP. It links different facets of cognitive development. - The information-processing approach describes specific components of cognition more precisely than does Piaget's approach. - Piaget's theory emphasizes the "whole" of cognition while IP emphasizes the "parts." - Piaget's theory emphasizes periodic, qualitative changes in cognition whereas IP emphasizes gradual, continuous, quantitative changes in cognition. - Piaget's theory has stages, but IP does not. 13.

Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Before three and a half years of age, children typically make the false-belief error. They attribute their own knowledge of the object's location to the doll (Sally) and say that the doll will look in the correct location for it. But by four years old, children understand that Sally's belief, although incorrect, will cause her to look for the object in the incorrect place. This pattern is very similar for children all over the world. In children from Canada, India, Peru, Samoa, and Thailand the majority of three-year old children made the error, but by five almost no children made the error.

How do children use computers at home and in school? Answer: a. True Chapter 07 Essay Questions 1. Your friends have a three-month-old son, Zack. Two weeks ago, when Zack was at your house he had been interested in kicking at a ball that makes noise when it rolls. Yesterday when Zack was at your house, he kicked at the ball again as if he remembered moving the ball and hearing its noise. When you pointed out this "memory" to Zack's parents, they said that "everyone knows that babies don't have any memories." What can you tell your friends about memory in infants that might change their minds? QuestionID: 07-3-01 Page-Reference: 194-196 Topic: Memory Skill: Applied Objective: 7.1.1. How well do infants remember? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Tell your friends that young babies remember events for days or weeks at a time. Carolyn Rovee-Collier

connected two- and three-month-olds' legs to a crib mobile using a ribbon. The infants quickly learned to kick their legs to make the mobile move. Even after a few weeks had passed, infants remembered that kicking moves the mobile. Based on the results of this research, it is quite likely that Zack does remember kicking at the ball at your house and your friends are wrong about his memory ability. 2. Memory strategies are techniques or activities that improve remembering. Name and briefly discuss different memory strategies that people use. QuestionID: 07-3-02 Page-Reference: 196-199 Topic: Memory Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.1.2. How do strategies help children to remember? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Rehearsal—Repetitively naming information that is to be remembered - Organization—Structuring material to be remembered so that related information is placed together - Elaboration—Embellishing information to be remembered to make it more memorable - Chunking—Organizing related items into one meaningful group. - Other strategies include outlining or writing a summary and self-testing 3. Explain what is meant by a memory strategy and discuss how memory strategy use changes with age. QuestionID: 07-3-03 Page-Reference: 196-199 Topic: Memory Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.1.2. How do strategies help children to remember? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: A memory strategy is an activity that improves remembering. Memory strategy use begins early, but early strategies are less effective than those used at a later age. Preschool children might look at or touch objects they've been told to remember. School-age children begin to use more effective strategies, such as rehearsal, a strategy of repetitively naming information that is to be remembered. As children get older, they learn more memory strategies and when it is best to use each kind. For example, when they are supposed to learn the main ideas when reading a textbook, they might use outlining or writing a summary rather than rehearsal. Older children are better than younger children at judging the objective of a memory task and at choosing an appropriate strategy for each task. As they get older, children also get better at monitoring the effectiveness of a strategy. 4. Briefly describe Brainerd and Reyna's fuzzy trace theory and the results of their research on it. QuestionID: 07-3-04 Page-Reference: 201-202 Topic: Memory Skill: Conceptual
51
Objective: 7.1.3. How does children's knowledge influence what they remember? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: According to fuzzy trace theory, most experiences can be stored in memory exactly (verbatim) or in terms of their basic meaning (gist). Brainerd and Reyna hypothesized that some memory errors depend on gist processing, and that if older children and adolescents are biased to gist processing, they should be more prone to those errors than young children. Results indicated that false memories—remembering a word that was never presented—were rare in young children but more common in older children and much more frequent in adults. These results are consistent with fuzzy trace theory. 5. Your uncle is a prosecuting attorney who is considering using a young child as a witness in an upcoming trial, but he is concerned about the reliability of a child's testimony. What suggestions could you give him about how to improve the likelihood that his child witness's testimony will accurately reflect what he actually saw? QuestionID: 07-3-05 Page-Reference: 199-206 Topic: Memory Skill: Applied Objective: 7.1.3. How does children's knowledge influence what they remember? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Interview children as soon as possible after the event in question. - Encourage children to tell the truth, to feel free to say "I don't know" to questions, and to correct interviewers when they say something that is incorrect. - Start by asking children to describe the event in their own words and follow up with open-ended questions. Minimize the use of specific questions. - Allow children to understand and feel comfortable in the interview format by beginning with a neutral event before moving to the event of interest. - Ask questions that consider alternate explanations of the event. 6. Recently, you took your nephew, Jamie, to a local fast food restaurant. When you took Jamie home, he told his mother, "We drove to Wendy's, we got out of the car, we stood in line, I got a Kid's Meal with chicken nuggets and milk, and I got a cool toy, too." Jamie's recall of the visit to Wendy's was mostly correct but Wendy's was out of milk so Jamie got a soft drink instead. What can you tell Jamie's mother about scripts and how they can influence memory that might explain Jamie's incorrect memory of his lunch? QuestionID: 07-3-06 Page-Reference: 199-206 Topic: Memory Skill: Applied Objective: 7.1.3. How does children's knowledge influence what they remember? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Scripts are memory structures that help describe the sequence of events. Jamie obviously has a script for going
52
to a fast food restaurant. Jamie's script includes eating chicken nuggets and drinking milk. Scripts can simplify remembering because they eliminate the need to remember each individual activity. However, a script can distort memories that are not consistent with one's script. Drinking a soft drink for lunch at a fast food restaurant is not consistent with Jamie's script for the event so he incorrectly "remembered" information that was consistent with his script. 7. What are some common features of children's and adolescents' problem solving? QuestionID: 07-3-07 Page-Reference: 208-211 Topic: Problem Solving Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.2.2. What factors contribute to the success of children and adolescents in solving problems? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Young children sometimes fail to solve problems because they don't encode all the important information in a problem. - Young children sometimes fail to solve problems because they don't plan ahead. - Successful problem solving typically depends upon knowledge specific to the problem as well as general processes. - Children and adolescents use a variety of strategies to solve problems. - Collaboration often enhances children's problem solving. 8. Define a "heuristic" and give an example of when it might be used to solve a problem. QuestionID: 07-3-08 Page-Reference: 208-211 Topic: Problem Solving Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.2.2. What factors contribute to the success of children and adolescents in solving problems? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Heuristics are rules of thumb that do not guarantee a solution but are useful in solving a range of problems. They are fast and require very little effort. They do not rely on statistical information, such as an analytical solution would. For example, the textbook talks about a child wanting to sit in the part of the stadium where her friend caught a fly ball (rather than the section where most fly balls are traditionally hit). 9.

QuestionID: 07-3-09 Page-Reference: 208-211 Topic: Cognitive Processes and Academic Skills Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.2.2. What factors contribute to the success of children and adolescents in solving problems? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following:
53
Collaboration with young children works well when they are partnered with a parent, a sibling, or a more knowledgeable peer. However, peer collaborations among young children can be tricky because they do not have the social and linguistic skills to work together productively. This is especially true in instances where the problem is outside of either child's zone of proximal development. Also, children in Westernized schools are used to instruction that emphasizes well-defined "right" answers and individual participation—collaboration can be even more difficult to foster in such atmospheres. Collaboration among young children works best when both parties are invested in solving the problem and when they are willing to share the responsibility to do so. In addition, children can be taught to support their classmates and to use them as resources. This technique has been effective in Mexico and Japan. 10. What are some common reasons for why young children sometimes fail to solve problems because of poor planning? QuestionID: 07-3-10 Page-Reference: 208-212 Topic: Problem Solving Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.2.1. Do older children and adolescents typically solve problems better than younger children?, 7.2.2. What factors contribute to the success of children and adolescents in solving problems? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Young children often believe (unrealistically) that they can solve a problem by boldly forging ahead, without an explicit plan. - Planning is hard work and if young children find that their plans often fail, they may see little point in investing the effort. - Young children may expect parents and other adults to solve complex problems for them. 11. When it comes to the skills associated with real scientific reasoning, children and even adolescents typically have some conspicuous faults. Discuss some of these faults. QuestionID: 07-3-11 Page-Reference: 211-212 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.2.3. Can children and adolescents reason scientifically? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Children and adolescents often have misconceptions about scientific phenomena that interfere with their scientific thinking. - Children and adolescents often devise experiments in which variables are confounded (combined instead of evaluated independently) so that the results are ambiguous. - Children and adolescents often reach conclusions prematurely, basing them on too little evidence. - These findings suggest that children and adolescents have limited scientific skills. - Other findings, however, indicate that young children do have some rudimentary scientific skills. 12. You are teaching Grade 4 science to a group of 9- and 10-year-old students. What can you expect
54
from them with regards to the scientific method, and are there things that you, as the teacher, can do to help your students improve their scientific reasoning? QuestionID: 07-3-12 Page-Reference: 211-212 Topic: Problem Solving Skill: Applied Objective: 7.2.3. Can children and adolescents reason scientifically? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Nine and 10-year-old children, and even adolescents, typically have some conspicuous faults when it comes to skills associated with real scientific reasoning. They often devise experiments in which variables are confounded; they often reach conclusions prematurely, basing them on too little evidence; and they often have difficulty integrating theory and data. However, even young children can be trained to think more scientifically. As a teacher, you can train your Grade 4 students to avoid confounded experiments by manipulating one variable at a time. To do this, show your students both confounded and unconfounded experiments, then illustrate the difficulty in drawing clear conclusions from confounded experiments. This can result in longlasting improvements in children's understanding of well-designed experiments. 13. What are some factors that contribute to improved reading comprehension? QuestionID: 07-3-13 Page-Reference: 213-218 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.3.1. What are the components of skilled reading? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Children become more skilled at recognizing words, allowing more working capacity to be devoted to comprehension. - Working memory capacity increases, which means that older and better readers can store more of a sentence in memory as they try to identify the propositions it contains. - Children acquire more general knowledge of their physical, social, and psychological worlds, which allows them to understand more of what they read. - With experience, children better monitor their comprehension. - With experience, children use more appropriate reading strategies. 14. Your friend, Kyoung Lae, is a concerned father and he would like to do all that he can to help his four-year-old daughter, Nora, learn to read. What can you tell Kyoung Lae about prereading skills that are related to more skilled reading in Grade 1? QuestionID: 07-3-14 Page-Reference: 213-218 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Applied Objective: 7.3.1. What are the components of skilled reading?
55
Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Kindergarten children who know most of their letters and who can easily distinguish the sounds that the different letters make are more skilled readers later on. Kyoung Lae can help Nora master these skills by playing games with her that involve identifying the letters of the alphabet. Kyoung Lae also can read books, such as Dr. Seuss or nursery rhymes, that contain rhymes that will increase her phonological awareness. Playing word games that involve identifying different letter sounds in words also will increase Nora's phonological awareness. 15. Your friend's son, Hasani, is in Grade 1 and has been writing a story every Monday in school. Your friend is concerned about Hasani's writing because she thinks that his stories aren't very good. They often have no organization and seem very incomplete. What can you tell your friend about the changes in writing ability that might make her feel better? QuestionID: 07-3-15 Page-Reference: 218-219 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Applied Objective: 7.3.2. As children develop, how does their writing improve? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell your friend that most children Hasani's age are not very good writers. First, their stories often are very limited because their knowledge of the world is limited. As children learn more about the world, they have more interesting information to incorporate into their stories. Second, young writers, like Hasani, use a knowledge-telling strategy in which they write down information on a topic as they retrieve it from memory. As well, once Hasani masters the mechanical requirements of writing, his stories will improve. Finally, as Hasani gets older, he will have greater skill in revising his stories into better ones. 16. Your brother, Pretesh, is concerned that his two-year-old daughter's counting ability is well below average. When she counts, his daughter will say, "one, two, c, door...door balls" when counting the four balls in a picture book. What can you tell Pretesh about the mastery of the principles of counting that will reassure him that his daughter's counting ability is fine? QuestionID: 07-3-16 Page-Reference: 220-227 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Applied Objective: 7.3.3. When do children understand and use quantitative skills? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can reassure your brother that your niece is doing well in the area of counting. Most children begin counting around their second birthday and have mastered the counting principles around age five years. Your niece has mastered the one-to-one principle in which she assigns one and only one number name to each object to be counted. She also has mastered the stable-order principle in which the same names for numbers are used in a consistent order. Your niece also seems to understand that the last number name denotes the number of items in the set (the cardinality principle). In other words, your niece's mastery of counting principles is more
56
advanced than most two-year-olds. Tell your brother to relax. Your niece has plenty of time to learn the "real" number names. 17. You are having a discussion with a friend about the differences in math achievement in children from different countries (or even from difficult cultures within one country, as is the case with Indigenous peoples in Canada). During your discussion, your friend states, "It must be genetic. Or maybe kids from certain countries are just smarter than kids from other countries" What can you tell your friend about the reasons for cultural differences in math achievement that refute his statement? QuestionID: 07-3-17 Page-Reference: 220-227 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Applied Objective: 7.3.3. When do children understand and use quantitative skills? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell your friend that, in fact, there are no systematic differences in general intelligence nor in general cognitive skills between children in different countries (or indeed, from different cultures within one country). Experiences at home and school seem to account for the differences in math achievement. In general, children in certain countries (e.g., Japan) spend more hours in school and spend a greater percentage of those hours engaged in academic pursuits. Children in the highest-ranking countries also spend more time per week doing homework and they rate homework as being more valuable than do children in lower-ranking countries. Parents in certain countries tend to have higher expectations for achievement in their children and they believe that effort and experience are critical in determining achievement. In other words, differences in achievement stem from differences in cultural attitudes and school practices. 18. Name and briefly describe the three basic principles of counting. QuestionID: 07-3-18 Page-Reference: 220-227 Topic: Academic Skills Skill: Conceptual Objective: 7.3.3. When do children understand and use quantitative skills? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - One-to-one principle—There must be one and only one number name for each object that is counted. - Stable-order principle—Number names must be counted in the same order. - Cardinality principle—The last number name differs from the previous ones in a counting sequence by denoting the number of objects. 19. Some critics have argued that television has several harmful effects on viewers. Discuss this idea. QuestionID: 07-3-19 Page-Reference: 227-231 Topic: Electronic Media Skill: Conceptual
57
Objective: 7.4.1. How does watching television affect children's attitudes and behaviour?, 7.4.2. How does TV viewing influence children's cognitive development? Answer: A good answer will include some of the following key points: - There are three main criticisms: i) Because TV programs consist of many brief segments presented in rapid succession, children who watch a lot of TV develop short attention spans and have difficulty concentrating in school; ii) because TV provides ready-made, simple-to-interpret images, children who watch a lot of TV become passive, lazy thinkers and become less creative; and iii) children who spend a lot of time watching TV spend less time in more productive and valuable activities, such as reading, participating in sports, and playing with friends. - As stated, none of these criticisms is consistently supported by research. - Watching television itself is unrelated to reduced attention, etc., but the content of the programs is important. - Mixed evidence regarding the idea that TV viewing fosters lazy thinking and stifles creativity; when a TV show depicts characters being creative, the child watching often will be more creative. - The idea that TV viewing replaces other socially more desirable activities – we can't assume that just because someone watches TV for an hour automatically means that if that person didn't watch TV, they'd be playing sports for that hour (they could do something like just lie in bed).

Skill: Conceptual Objective: 8.1.3. What are the components of Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Analytic ability: Analyzing problems and generating different solutions - Creative ability: Dealing adaptively with novel situations and problems - Practical ability: Knowing what solution or plan will actually work 4. Your friends Bernie and Miriam have a six-month-old daughter, Rachel. Rachel was tested using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and she received a very high score. Bernie and Miriam are convinced that this means Rachel will be gifted when she is older. What can you tell your friends about the relation between infant intelligence test scores and later IQ that might contradict their beliefs? QuestionID: 08-3-04 Page-Reference: 241-246 Topic: Features of IQ Scores Skill: Applied Objective: 8.2.1. Why were intelligence tests devised initially? What are modern tests like?, 8.2.2. What do tests predict? How does dynamic testing differ from traditional testing? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell Bernie and Miriam that, in general, scores from infant intelligence tests such as the Bayley Scales are not related to later IQ scores. Children must be at least 18 to 24 months old before the scores from infant tests can predict later IQ scores. The reason for this is that infant tests place more emphasis on sensorimotor skills and later tests emphasize cognitive processes such as language, thinking, and problem solving. A high score on the Bayley should reassure Bernie and Miriam that Rachel is developing normally but it should not lead them to believe that Rachel will be gifted later in life. 5. Compare the advantages of group-administered intelligence tests to those of individual-administered intelligence tests. QuestionID: 08-3-05 Page-Reference: 243-244 Topic: What is Intelligence? Skill: Conceptual Objective: 8.2.1. Why were intelligence tests devised initially? What are modern tests like? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Group tests of intelligence have the advantage of providing information about many individuals quickly and inexpensively, often without the need of highly trained psychologists.
54
- Individual intelligence tests optimize the motivation and attention of the examinee and provide an opportunity for a sensitive examiner to assess factors that may influence test performance. 6. Your friend Elena has been asked to supervise an intervention program that is aimed at preparing disadvantaged children for school. Some people have objected to the program, claiming that it will be expensive and that it is unlikely to work. Based on the results of other Head Start programs, do you think that intervention will be effective? Is it worth it? Why or why not? QuestionID: 08-3-06 Page-Reference: 246-249 Topic: Features of IQ Scores Skill: Applied Objective: 8.2.3. What are the roles of heredity and environment in determining intelligence? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: A meta-analysis has shown that Head Start programs were effective and that cognitive benefits extended through elementary school. The effects have been found to be greatest during the preschool years, but cognitive effects were still noticeable through Grade 8, and social-emotional effects were noted into high school. Head Start programs are expensive but so are the economic consequences of poverty, unemployment, and their byproducts. In the long term, the intervention program should pay for itself. 7. Your friends Andre and Mia are both above average in intelligence and they want to know if their new daughter Diane will be intelligent also. They also want to know what they can do to shape Diane's environment to increase the chances that she will be above average in intelligence. What can you tell them about the effects of heredity and environment on intelligence? QuestionID: 08-3-07 Page-Reference: 246-249 Topic: Features of IQ Scores Skill: Applied Objective: 8.2.3. What are the roles of heredity and environment in determining intelligence? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Both heredity and environment influence intelligence. Studies of twins and adopted children provide support for the importance of heredity in influencing intelligence. In twin studies, identical twins have more similar IQ scores than do fraternal twins or other non-twin siblings. Studies comparing adopted children's IQs to those of their biological and adoptive parents have shown that as children grow older their IQs become more similar to their biological parents' IQs. The environment also is important in shaping one's intelligence. Parental behaviour is an important aspect of the environment. Children with high IQ scores have parents who are responsive, stimulating, and highly involved. Also, having a variety of toys that are age-appropriate in an organized environment is associated with higher test scores. Diane probably received genes for above average intelligence from her parents and they will probably provide a stimulating environment that nurtures Diane's intellectual development. 8. Your friend Clyde would like his five-year-old daughter Bonnie to become a violin virtuoso at a young age. Clyde has seen 12- and 13-year-olds winning national competitions on television and he is wondering
55
what he should do to increase the likelihood that Bonnie will be one of those adolescents in a few short years. What can you tell Clyde about the prerequisites for exceptional talent? QuestionID: 08-3-08 Page-Reference: 254-255 Topic: Special Children, Special Needs Skill: Applied Objective: 8.3.1. What are the characteristics of gifted and creative children? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: First, children who develop exceptional talent in an area love the subject and have a very strong desire to master the subject. Second, children with exceptional talent began instruction in the given area at an early age and they received instruction from inspiring and talented teachers. Third, the parents of these children are committed to promoting the children's talents. Clyde sounds as if he is committed to supporting Bonnie's talent and he is willing to find inspiring and talented instructors for Bonnie. The critical question is, does Bonnie love to play the violin and does she have a strong desire to master playing the violin. If Bonnie isn't interested, it will be difficult for her to become a virtuoso in spite of Clyde's wishes. 9. Briefly describe the three components that define a "learning disorder." QuestionID: 08-3-09 Page-Reference: 255-258 Topic: Special Children, Special Needs Skill: Factual Objective: 8.3.2. What are the different forms of intellectual disability and disorder? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: 1) Children who have difficulty mastering an academic area (such as reading or math). 2) Children who have normal intelligence that cannot explain their academic difficulties. 3) Children who are not suffering from other conditions that would explain the academic difficulties, such as sensory impairment or inadequate instruction. 10. Describe four factors that place individuals at risk for intellectual disability. Do the factors necessarily cause intellectual disabilities? Explain. QuestionID: 08-3-10 Page-Reference: 255-258 Topic: Special Children, Special Needs Skill: Conceptual Objective: 8.3.2. What are the different forms of intellectual disability and disorder? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Four factors are: - Biomedical factors, including chromosomal disorders, malnutrition, and traumatic brain injury - Social factors, such as poverty and impaired parent-child interactions - Behavioural factors, such as child neglect or domestic violence - Educational factors, including impaired parenting and inadequate special education services
56
No individual factor in this list necessarily leads to intellectual disability. Instead, the risk for intellectual disability grows as more of these are present.

Answer: b. False Chapter 09 Essay Questions 1. What is language and how does it differ from simple communication? QuestionID: 09-3-01 Page-Reference: 262-264 Topic: The Road to Speech Skill: Factual Objective: 9.1.1. What are the basic sounds of speech, and how well can infants distinguish them? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Language is a system that relates sounds (or gestures) to meaning. - It differs from simple communication in four ways: 1) it has arbitrary units and is therefore symbolic; 2) it is structured and meaningful; 3) it shows displacement (one can communicate about events distant in time and space, not just here and now; and 4) it is characterized by generativity (you can produce an infinite number of utterances from a language's vocabulary provided you follow the structure) 2. Describe infant speech perception during the first year of life. QuestionID: 09-3-02 Page-Reference: 262-264 Topic: The Road to Speech Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.1.1. What are the basic sounds of speech, and how well can infants distinguish them? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Infants can distinguish many phonemes (such as "t" and "e") as early as one month after birth. Infants can discriminate speech sounds they have never heard before, such as those that are not used in the language spoken in their home. They will lose this ability sometime around one year of age. This suggests that although they are biologically capable of hearing the entire range of phonemes, they begin to notice only the linguistic distinctions that are spoken in the language to which they are exposed. Infants are able to identify recurring patterns of sounds–words. They pay more attention to words they have heard repeatedly than to words they have not previously heard. 3. Name and briefly describe the five different elements of language. QuestionID: 09-3-03 Page-Reference: 263-264 Topic: The Road to Speech Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.1.1. What are the basic sounds of speech, and how well can infants distinguish them? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Phonology—The sounds of language
54
Morphology—The rules of meaning within the language Semantics—The study of words and their meaning Syntax—Rules that specify how words are combined to form sentences Pragmatics—The study of how people use language to communicate effectively 4. Compare and contrast phonology and morphology QuestionID: 09-3-04 Page-Reference: 263-264 Topic: The Road to Speech Skill: Factual Objective: 9.1.1. What are the basic sounds of speech, and how well can infants distinguish them? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Phonology refers to the sounds in a language. All words in English are made from approximately 45 sounds. Morphology refers to the rules of meaning within a language. Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language. For example, the word "dogs" has four sounds /d/ /o/ /g/ /s/, and two morphemes /dog/ /s/. 5. What is infant-directed speech and how is it related to infant language development? QuestionID: 09-3-05 Page-Reference: 267-269 Topic: The Road to Speech Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.1.2. How does infant-directed speech help children learn about language? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: In infant-directed speech, adults speak slowly and with exaggerated changes in pitch and loudness. Infantdirected speech attracts infants' attention more than adult-directed speech and helps them perceive the sounds that are fundamental to their language. 6. Discuss the concept of fast mapping. QuestionID: 09-3-06 Page-Reference: 271 Topic: Learning the Meanings of Words Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.2.2. What rules do children follow to learn new words? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Once children have the insight that a word can symbolize an object or action, their vocabularies grow, though slowly at first. - Typical 15-month-olds learn two to three words each week. - At about 18 months, many children experience a naming explosion during which they learn new words – particularly names of objects – much more rapidly than before. - They learn 10 or more new words each week.
55
- Most young children will learn the proper meanings of simple words in just a few presentations. - Children's ability to connect new words to their meanings so rapidly that they cannot be considering all possible meanings for the new word is called fast mapping. - Many distinct factors contribute to young children's rapid word learning, such as joint attention, constraints on word names, sentence cues, and cognitive factors. 7. Your sister and brother-in-law have a newborn baby and they are wondering when she will begin talking. They hope that it will occur soon, so they have begun saying mama and dada to their daughter. What can you tell them about the course of language development during the first year of life? QuestionID: 09-3-07 Page-Reference: 270-271 Topic: The Road to Speech Skill: Applied Objective: 9.2.1. How do children make the transition from babbling to talking? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Your sister and brother-in-law will have a few months to wait until their daughter is talking because most babies say their first words around their first birthdays. Even though it will be months before their daughter says her first words, she will begin to make language-like sounds within the next few months. Around two months, babies start producing vowel-like sounds that are called cooing. Around six months of age, babies start combining vowels with consonants to produce babbling. Early babbling consists of single syllables, but later babbling consists of combinations of syllables. Starting around eight months of age, intonation (rising and falling pitch) is added to babbling. This intonation will mimic the intonation found in the language that the child hears. Around the first birthday, advanced babbling will become early words. 8. What are some of the rules that children use for learning new words? QuestionID: 09-3-08 Page-Reference: 271-273 Topic: Learning the Meanings of Words Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.2.2. What rules do children follow to learn new words? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - If an unfamiliar word is heard in the presence of objects that already have names and objects that do not, the word refers to one of the objects that doesn't have a name. - A name refers to a whole object, not its parts or its relation to other objects and refers not just to this particular object but to all objects of the same type. - If an object already has a name and another name is presented, the new name denotes a subcategory of the original name. - Given many similar category members, a word applied consistently to only one of them is a proper noun. 9. Your friends Tamika and Susan have an 18-month-old daughter, Lynda, who has a vocabulary of approximately 50 words. Almost all of Lynda's words are names of objects, people, or actions.

56
QuestionID: 09-3-09 Page-Reference: 274-275 Topic: Learning the Meanings of Words Skill: Applied Objective: 9.2.3. What different styles of language learning do young children use? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Lynda sounds as if she has a referential language-learning style because most of the words in her vocabulary are the names of objects, people, and actions. In contrast, children who have an expressive language-learning style have a higher percentage of social phrases that are used in social interactions. Referential children use language as an intellectual tool, but expressive children use it as a social tool. In other words, Lynda's language development is normal and typical of that of referential children. 10. Children sometimes have distinctive styles of learning language. Name and describe two styles of learning language. QuestionID: 09-3-10 Page-Reference: 275 Topic: Learning the Meanings of Words Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.2.3. What different styles of language learning do young children use? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Referential style–Children with this style of learning language tend to have vocabularies dominated by words that are the names of objects, persons, or actions. They use language primarily as an intellectual tool, a means of talking about objects. - Expressive style–Children with this style have vocabularies that include some names but also many social phrases that are used like a single word. Children with an expressive style use language as more of a social tool, a way of enhancing interactions with others. 11. What can adults do during their interactions with children to promote children's language development (i.e., help children master grammar and other aspects of language)? QuestionID: 09-3-11 Page-Reference: 275-280 Topic: Speaking in Sentences Skill: Applied Objective: 9.2.4. What conditions foster children's learning of new words? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Talk with children frequently and treat them as partners in conversation. That is, try talking with children interactively, not directively. - Use a child's speech to show new language forms. Expand a child's remark to introduce new vocabulary or new grammatical forms. Rephrase a child's ungrammatical remark to show the correct grammar. - Encourage children to go beyond minimal use of language. Have them answer questions in phrases and
57
sentences, not single words. Have them replace vague words with more descriptive ones. - Listen. Do not attempt to complete children's sentences for them, let children express themselves. Pay attention to what children are saying and respond appropriately. - Make language fun. Use books, rhymes, songs, jokes, and foreign words to increase interest in language. 12. Your friend Angelina wants to know what she can do to stimulate her son Mario's development. What should Angelina do in her interactions with Mario and how should she structure his home environment to maximize his language development? QuestionID: 09-3-12 Page-Reference: 275-280 Topic: Learning the Meanings of Words Skill: Applied Objective: 9.2.4. What conditions foster children's learning of new words? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Angelina should speak frequently to Mario. Parents who speak frequently with their children provide their children with more opportunities to learn words. Language development also is fostered when parents name objects or activities that are the focus of a child's attention. Reading books to a child increases the child's encounters with unfamiliar words, which leads to an increase in vocabulary. Also, asking Mario questions while reading to him will force him to identify the meanings of new words. The type of television shows that Mario watches may influence his language development. Watching television shows like Sesame Street in which Mario can actively participate and is challenged to use his emerging language skills probably will lead to improved language development. 13. Your friends Kumi and Hugh have a six-month-old son, Joe. Kumi is a native speaker of Japanese and Hugh is a native speaker of English. They are thinking about raising Joe to be bilingual but they are wondering if there are any benefits or drawbacks to this. What can you tell Kumi and Hugh about the impact of bilingualism on language development? QuestionID: 09-3-13 Page-Reference: 278-280 Topic: Learning the Meanings of Words Skill: Applied Objective: 9.2.4. What conditions foster children's learning of new words? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Initially, language development in bilingual children may be slower than that of monolingual children but there are many benefits in the long run. When one- and two-year-olds are reared in a bilingual home, their language development often progresses slowly at first because they mix words from both languages. By three or four years of age, however, children can separate the two languages. During the elementary-school years, most bilingual children have a better understanding of many aspects of language such as understanding fine points of grammar and understanding that words are arbitrary symbols. So, in the long run Joe will not be harmed and should benefit from his bilingual upbringing. 14. Behaviourist theorists' claim that language is learned strictly through imitation and reinforcement
58
has been challenged by other theorists who propose that an inborn mechanism helps children learn grammar. Give an example of a language phenomenon that behaviourists would have difficulty explaining and describe evidence that supports the notion of an inborn grammar-learning device. QuestionID: 09-3-14 Page-Reference: 284-289 Topic: Speaking in Sentences Skill: Conceptual Objective: 9.3.2. How do children acquire the grammar of their native language? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - One problem for behaviourist theorists is how to explain the fact that children produce novel sentences and grammar? Children produce sentences that are not simply imitations of sentences they've heard earlier. - Evidence supporting the notion of an inborn language-learning device: * Specific regions of the brain are known to be involved in language processing. The fact that specific areas in the brain have well-defined functions for language make it plausible that children have specialized neural circuits that help them learn grammar. * Only humans learn grammar readily. If grammar is learned solely through imitation and reinforcement, then it should be possible to teach rudimentary grammar to nonhumans. Efforts to teach grammar to chimpanzees have failed, suggesting that children rely upon some type of inborn mechanism to master grammar. * There is a critical period for learning language, based on cases of isolated children and from studies of individuals learning second languages. The period from birth to about age 12 is critical for acquiring language and mastering grammar, suggesting that the neural mechanisms involved in learning grammar may function only during infancy and childhood. 15. Effective communication is important throughout life. Give three guidelines for effective oral communication. QuestionID: 09-3-15 Page-Reference: 289-290 Topic: Using Language to Communicate Skill: Applied Objective: 9.4.1. When and how do children learn to take turns in conversation? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - People should take turns, alternating as speaker and listener. - A speaker's remarks should relate to the topic and be clear to the listener. - A listener should pay attention and let the speaker know if his or her remarks do not make sense. 16. What is "turn-taking" in language development? QuestionID: 09-3-16 Page-Reference: 289-290 Topic: Using Language to Communicate Skill: Factual Objective: 9.4.1. When and how do children learn to take turns in conversation?
59
Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Before infants can talk, parents often begin to encourage "turn-taking" (when one member of the dyad speaks and the other listens). Parents structure the "conversation" around the babies' first sounds. The parent might say "What do you see?" and then pause for the baby to babble. Then the parent might say "Oh I see a doggie too." As infants get older, the parent might model both the question and the answer. 17. Discuss how a sign language such as ASL fulfills the criteria for language.

Explain what is meant by basic emotions and complex emotions and give examples of each. QuestionID: 10-3-01 Page-Reference: 301-305 Topic: Emerging Emotions Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.1.1. Why do people "feel"? Why do they have emotions?, 10.1.2. At what ages do children begin to experience and express different emotions? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Basic emotions are experienced by people throughout the world and are comprised of three elements: a subjective feeling, a physiological change, and an overt behaviour. Basic emotions include happiness, anger, surprise, fear, disgust, and sadness. - Complex emotions have an additional evaluative component to them and are not experienced the same ways in all cultures. Complex emotions include pride, guilt, and embarrassment. 2. Recently, your friends went out for the evening and got a babysitter. They have gotten babysitters in the seven months since their baby was born, but this time the baby cried when the babysitter came in the door and rushed to pick him up. A few weeks ago, when the same sitter came to the house, the baby was willing to go to her. Your friends can't figure out what happened to the baby or the babysitter to change the situation. What can you tell your friends about stranger wariness that might explain the baby's behaviour? QuestionID: 10-3-02 Page-Reference: 302-305 Topic: Emerging Emotions Skill: Applied Objective: 10.1.2. At what ages do children begin to experience and express different emotions?
48
Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell your friends that around six months of age, stranger wariness emerges in infants. So, infants who had gone to strangers readily just a few weeks before will fuss or cry when approached by a stranger. In general, infants show less stranger wariness in familiar environments than unfamiliar environments. Infants also show more wariness when someone rushes at them (like the babysitter did) and less wariness when they are given time to "warm up" to the stranger. This wariness will decline as your friends' baby learns to interpret facial expressions and recognizes when strangers are friendly or hostile. 3. Discuss cultural differences in emotional expression.

When do children begin to understand other people's emotions? How do they use this information to guide their own behaviour? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Children worldwide express many of the same basic and complex emotions. - However, cultures differ in the extent to which emotional expression is encouraged. - For example, outward displays of emotion are discouraged in many Asian countries. - Cultures also differ in the events that trigger emotions, particularly complex emotions. - Expression of anger also varies around the world. - Culture can influence when and how much children express emotion 4. Your friend Jamal has a 12-month-old daughter, Kia. Recently, they ran into one of Jamal's coworkers who Kia did not know. When this "stranger" approached, Jamal thought that Kia looked at him to gauge his reaction to the "stranger" and then smiled after she saw Jamal greet the "stranger" in a friendly manner. When Jamal told this story to his wife, Yolanda, she laughed and told him that he was giving Kia more credit than a one-year-old should get. Is Jamal or Yolanda correct? Explain your answer. QuestionID: 10-3-04 Page-Reference: 305-307 Topic: Emerging Emotions Skill: Applied Objective: 10.1.3. When do children begin to understand other people's emotions? How do they use this information to guide their own behaviour? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell Jamal and Yolanda that Kia was engaging in social referencing. Social referencing occurs when infants encounter unfamiliar or ambiguous situations in the environment and involves looking at a parent to find cues to help interpret the situation. The approach of the coworker who was a stranger to Kia would be an unfamiliar or ambiguous situation. Kia is old enough to use social referencing, so she looked at Jamal to see how he reacted to this "stranger." When Jamal was friendly to the "stranger," Kia smiled at the "stranger." In
49
other words, Jamal's ideas about Kia's behaviour were correct. 5. What are some new ways to regulate emotions that children develop as they get older? QuestionID: 10-3-05 Page-Reference: 307-308 Topic: Emerging Emotions Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.1.4. When do children show evidence of regulating emotion, and why is this an important skill? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Children begin to regulate their own emotions and rely less on others to do this for them. - Children more often rely on mental strategies to regulate emotions. - Children more accurately match the strategies for regulating emotion with the particular setting. 6. Name and describe some different dimensions of temperament. QuestionID: 10-3-06 Page-Reference: 308-310 Topic: Temperament Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.2.1. What are the different features of temperament? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Thomas and Chess suggested that infants' behaviour varies along nine temperamental dimensions. Two are: 1) Activity level—The amount of motor activity in daily situations; and 2) Persistence—The amount of time a child devotes to an activity, particularly when obstacles or distractions are present - Rothbart (2011) devised a theory of temperament that includes three different dimensions: - Surgency/extraversion—The extent to which a child is generally happy, active, vocal, and regularly seeks interesting stimulation - Effortful control—The extent to which a child can focus attention, is not readily distracted, and can inhibit responses - Negative affect—The extent to which a child is fearful, irritable, easily distresses, is prone to anger and not easily soothed 7. Discuss how a child's environment can contribute to children's temperament. QuestionID: 10-3-07 Page-Reference: 310-311 Topic: Temperament Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.2.2. How do heredity and environment influence temperament? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The environment contributes in at least three different ways: - Temperament can be affected directly by parents' behaviour
50
- The environment can amplify the genetic effects of temperament through different mechanisms (e.g., infants with high levels of negative affect are more likely to elicit harsh parenting) - temperament may make some children particularly susceptible to environmental influences – either beneficial or harmful. 8. Your friends have a six-month-old son, Etan. Etan often is irritable, is prone to anger, and is easily distressed. Your friends are hoping that Etan is just "in a bad stage" and that he will outgrow his behaviour. Which category of temperament would you put Etan in and what can you tell your friends about the stability of temperament? QuestionID: 10-3-08 Page-Reference: 311-314 Topic: Temperament Skill: Applied Objective: 10.2.3. How stable is a child's temperament across childhood?, 10.2.4. What are the consequences of different temperaments? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell your friends that Etan's behaviour is typical of infants with high levels of "negative affect." Will this difficult stage pass? Studies of the stability of temperament indicate that temperament is somewhat stable. For example, fearful preschoolers tend to be inhibited as older children and adolescents. Also, newborns who cry under moderate stress tend to cry as five-month-olds when they are in stressful situations. A difficult temperament during the preschool years is related to behaviour problems by the time children enter school. Based on the studies of the stability of temperament, no one can say with certainty that Etan will continue to be difficult, but he is more likely to be a difficult child than someone else who is an easy infant. The environment also plays a role in the stability of temperament so that your friends' skillful parenting may help Etan to become less difficult. 9. Provide examples supporting the notion that temperament is an important influence on development. QuestionID: 10-3-09 Page-Reference: 312-314 Topic: Temperament Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.2.4. What are the consequences of different temperaments? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Persistent children are likely to succeed in school, whereas active and distractible children are less likely to succeed. - Shy, inhibited children often have difficulty interacting with their peers and often do not cope effectively with problems. - Anxious, fearful children are more likely to comply with a parent's rules and requests, even when the parent is not present. - Children who are frequently angry or fearful are more prone to depression. - Children who are capable of greater effortful control as three- and four-year-olds have higher scores on measures of working memory and, as school-age children, are less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD.
51
- Children who are uninhibited and lack self-regulation are prone to alcohol-, drug-, and gambling-related problems as adults. 10. You know your child tends to be quite fearful. One day you catch her cheating while playing a family board game. What do you know about how temperament interacts with the environment, and how should you respond to the cheating situation? QuestionID: 10-3-10 Page-Reference: 312-314 Topic: Temperament Skill: Applied Objective: 10.2.4. What are the consequences of different temperaments? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Research has shown that emotionally fearful children were more likely to cheat in a game when their parents' discipline emphasized asserting power ("Do this now and don't argue") but they were the least likely to cheat when the parents were nurturing and supportive. Therefore, you should aim to be nurturing and supportive with ALL of your children, but especially the one who tends to be fearful. Because you know that temperamentally fearful preschoolers can lean towards honesty or dishonesty depending on the disciplinary style of the parents. 11. Your friend Beth has a nine-month-old baby and she is considering returning to work full-time. She has heard that infants who are in daycare full-time have a slightly higher risk of forming an insecure attachment. She told you that she is willing to take that risk because attachment only lasts a few years and doesn't affect other behaviours. What can you tell Beth about the relation between attachment and later social behaviour? QuestionID: 10-3-11 Page-Reference: 314-323 Topic: Attachment Skill: Applied Objective: 10.3.1. How does an attachment relationship develop between an infant and the primary caregiver?, 10.3.2. What different types of attachment relationships are there? What are the consequences of different types of relationships? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Attachment does last longer than a few years and a secure attachment is related to better social relationships later in life. There is much evidence that children who form secure attachments as infants have better social relationships with peers later in life. For example, children with secure attachment relationships have higherquality friendships and fewer conflicts with friends than children with insecure attachments as infants. Also, school-age children are less likely to have behaviour problems if they have a secure attachment relationship. 12. According to Bowlby, what are the four phases of growth in attachment?

52
Topic: Attachment Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.3.1. How does an attachment relationship develop between an infant and the primary caregiver? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Preattachment (birth to six weeks)—Infant's behaviours and the responses they evoke in adults create an interactive system that is the first step in the formation of attachment relationships. - Attachment in the making (six to eight weeks to six to eight months)—Babies begin to behave differently in the presence of familiar and unfamiliar adults. - True attachment (six to eight months to 18 months)—Most infants have singled out the attachment figure. A mental representation of the attachment figure is formed. - Reciprocal relationships (18 months on)—Infants begin to act as true partners in the attachment relationship. 13. Name the four primary types of attachment relationships observed by Ainsworth. Describe the typical reaction of infants with each type of attachment to the separation and reunion episodes of the Strange Situation procedure. QuestionID: 10-3-13 Page-Reference: 317-323 Topic: Attachment Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.3.2. What different types of attachment relationships are there? What are the consequences of different types of relationships? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Secure attachment—The baby may or may not cry when the mother leaves, but when she returns, the baby wants to be with her and if the baby is crying, it stops. - Avoidant attachment—The baby is not upset when the mother leaves and when she returns, may ignore her by looking or turning away. - Resistant attachment—The baby is upset when the mother leaves and remains upset or even angry when she returns and is difficult to console. - Disorganized (disoriented) attachment—The baby seems confused when the mother leaves and when she returns, as if it doesn't really understand what's happening. 14. When questioned about attachment relationships with the Adult Attachment Interview, adults can be classified into one of three groups. Discuss these three groups. QuestionID: 10-3-14 Page-Reference: 321-322 Topic: Attachment Skill: Conceptual Objective: 10.3.2. What different types of attachment relationships are there? What are the consequences of different types of relationships? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Secure adults describe childhood experiences objectively and value the impact of their caregiver-child
53
relationship on their development. - Dismissive adults sometimes deny the value of childhood experiences and sometimes are unable to recall those experiences precisely, yet they often idealize their caregivers. - Preoccupied adults describe childhood experiences emotionally and often express anger or confusion regarding relationships with their caregivers.

Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.2.2. How does self-concept become more elaborate as children grow?, 11.3.3. How do adolescents achieve an identity? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Preschoolers are likely to describe themselves in terms of possessions, physical characteristics, preferences, and competencies - School-aged children are likely to describe themselves in terms of emotions, social groups, and comparisons with peers - Adolescents are likely to describe themselves in terms of attitudes and personality traits. Their beliefs are future-oriented and vary with the setting. They also begin to make religious and political beliefs part of their self-concept. 2. Explain what is meant by the imaginary audience, the personal fable, and the illusion of invulnerability. Give an example of each. QuestionID: 11-3-02 Page-Reference: 329-337 Topic: Who Am I? Self-Concept Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.3.3. How do adolescents achieve an identity? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - The imaginary audience is the feeling of many adolescents that they are, in effect, an actor whose performance is watched constantly by their peers. For example, a teenager who got a haircut she didn't like might insist on staying home from school, because she thinks all the kids at school will stare at her funny haircut and make fun of her. - The personal fable refers to teenagers' tendency to believe that their experiences and feelings are unique, that no one has ever felt or thought as they do. For example, a teenager whose parents didn't allow him to attend a concert with his friends might think his parents are being so unreasonable because they could never understand what it feels like to have to miss out on something all your friends are doing. - The illusion of invulnerability refers to the common tendency of teenagers to believe that misfortune only happens to others. This might explain the tendency of teenagers to engage in risky behaviours such as driving too fast or having unprotected sex, because they don't think the possible negative consequences of these acts will happen to them. 3. Your friends think there is something wrong with their 16-year-old son. One week he says that he wants to be a rock star and the next he says that he wants to be a pediatrician. Your friends don't think that a normal adolescent can change identities so rapidly. Based on what you know about achieving an identity in adolescence, what can you tell your friends to make them feel better? QuestionID: 11-3-03 Page-Reference: 329-337 Topic: Who Am I? Self-Concept Skill: Applied Objective: 11.3.3. How do adolescents achieve an identity?
51
Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: During early adolescence, most teens either have no identity (diffusion status) or have chosen an identity that is based on advice from adults (foreclosure status). As teens progress through adolescence they begin to "try-on" different identities to see how each one fits (moratorium status). These different identities may be as diverse as rock star and pediatrician. Eventually, during later adolescence or early adulthood, after trying many different identities, one finds an identity that "fits" (achievement status). In other words, you friends' son is acting like other teens his age and he probably won't settle on an identity for a few years yet. 4. Describe Marcia's four identity statuses. QuestionID: 11-3-04 Page-Reference: 329-337 Topic: Who Am I? Self-Concept Skill: Applied Objective: 11.3.3. How do adolescents achieve an identity? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Diffusion: Individuals in this status are confused or overwhelmed by the task of achieving an identity and are doing little to achieve one. - Foreclosure: Individuals in this status have an identity determined largely by adults, rather than from personal exploration of alternatives. - Moratorium: Individuals in this status are still examining different alternatives and have yet to find a satisfactory identity. - Achievement: Individuals in this status have explored alternatives and have deliberately chosen a specific identity. 5. Define ethnic identity and describe the three phases that individuals typically go through in attaining ethnic identity. Do adolescents benefit from a strong ethnic identity? QuestionID: 11-3-05 Page-Reference: 329-337 Topic: Who Am I? Self-Concept Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.2.2. How does self-esteem vary depending on ethnicity and culture? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Ethnic identity is when people feel a part of their ethnic group and learn the special customs and traditions of their group's culture and heritage. They identify with their ethnic group. * In the first phase of achieving an ethnic identity, adolescents have not examined their ethnic roots. Ethnic identity is not yet an important personal issue. * In the second phase, adolescents begin to explore the personal impact of their ethnic heritage. They may be curious and questioning about their ethnic group and how it is different from other ethnic groups. They may go to cultural festivals and learn cultural traditions. * In the third phase, individuals achieve a distinct ethnic self-concept. - Adolescents benefit from a strong ethnic identity – they tend to have higher self-esteem and find their
52
interactions with family and friends more satisfying. - Adolescents with a strong ethnic identity also tend to be happier and worry less and are less affected by discrimination. 6. Discuss acculturation and the research by John W. Berry. QuestionID: 11-3-06 Page-Reference: 329-337 Topic: Who Am I? Self-Concept Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.2.2. How does self-esteem vary depending on ethnicity and culture? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Acculturation is the process of integrating into and adopting the customs of a different culture. - John W. Berry examined the ways in which immigrant youth between 13 and 18 years adapted, and how well they dealt with adaptation. - Four "acculturation profiles" were found, from most to least well integrated; along with two forms of adaptation, psychological and sociocultural. - Those most acculturated were also the best adapted both psychologically and socioculturally. - Berry et al. (2006) advised that, while acculturation was helpful, immigrant youth should not lose their heritage - Integration should be encouraged, but immigrants should maintain their own culture as well. 7. Define self-esteem. Read the section regarding the structure of self-esteem. Name and describe the four domains for this structure. How is overall self-worth related to self-worth in the specialized areas here? QuestionID: 11-3-07 Page-Reference: 337-339 Topic: Self-Esteem Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.2.1. How does self-esteem change as children develop? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Self-esteem refers to a person's judgment and feelings about their own worth. - Scholastic competence: How competent or smart the child feels in doing schoolwork - Athletic competence: How competent the child feels at sports and games requiring physical skill or athletic ability. - Social competence: How competent the child feels in relationships with parents and peers. - Physical appearance: How good-looking the child feels and how much the child likes his or her physical characteristics, such as height, weight, face, and hair. - Children's overall self-worth is usually not simply the average of their self-worth in specific domains. Selfesteem in some domains contributes more than others. 8. Describe the developmental changes in self-esteem that occur over the preschool, elementary, junior high, and high school years.

QuestionID: 11-3-08 Page-Reference: 337-339 Topic: Self-Esteem Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.2.1. How does self-esteem change as children develop? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Most preschoolers have very positive views of themselves. During preschool years, self-esteem is at its highest level. During the elementary-school years, self-esteem usually drops somewhat. This drop may be due to the fact that at this age children begin to compare themselves to their peers and discover that other children do some things better than they do. During the late elementary school years, self-esteem usually stabilizes and neither increases nor decreases. When children make the transitions to high school, there is often a drop in self-esteem as children compare themselves to a new peer group. This drop is usually temporary and as children enter middle and late adolescence, self-esteem frequently increases. 9. Your friends are the parents of a 13-year-old adolescent. They have told you that they are dreading the teen years because adolescence is a time of storm and stress and they aren't sure that they can handle all of the storm and stress that their son will be going through in the next few years. What can you tell them about the facts behind the idea of adolescence as a time of storm and stress? QuestionID: 11-3-09 Page-Reference: 339-340 Topic: Who Am I? Self-Concept Skill: Applied Objective: 11.2.2. How does self-esteem vary depending on ethnicity and culture? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The idea of adolescence as a time of storm and stress has been vastly overstated. Most adolescents report that they love and admire their parents, rely upon their parents for advice, embrace many of their parents' values, feel loved by their parents, are usually happy, and do not try to avoid their homes. However, during the teen years parents must adjust to their children's growing sense of autonomy. This increased autonomy may lead to arguments about styles of dress, personal tastes, and freedom from parental rules. Adolescence is a challenging time but, in most cases, it is not a time of great storm and stress. 10. Discuss briefly variations in self-esteem associated with ethnicity and culture. QuestionID: 11-3-10 Page-Reference: 339-340 Topic: Self-Esteem Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.2.2. How does self-esteem vary depending on ethnicity and culture? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Developmental changes in structure and average levels of self-esteem are not universal; ethnicity and culture influence these developmental trends. - Although the research is in the US (and not Canada), the findings regarding ethnicity and self-esteem are very
54
interesting. - Compared to European American children, African American and Hispanic American children have lower self-esteem during most of the elementary school years. - However, in adolescence, the gap narrows for Hispanic Americans and actually reverses for African American adolescents, who actually have greater self-esteem than their European American peers. - Reasons for these findings not fully understood but possibly because of ethnic identity – beginning in early adolescence, many African American and Hispanic American teens take pride in belonging to a distinct social and cultural group. - Asian American children have greater self-esteem than European-American children during the elementary school years, but less self-esteem during middle school and high school. - Reason for the finding regarding Asian American children – Asian cultures emphasize modesty and as the children grow older, they start to internalize this. Also, Asian adolescents are also more likely to admit their weaknesses. 11. Your friends Frank and Kathie have a young son, Jessie. Frank and Kathie hope that Jessie will grow up feeling good about himself. They are wondering if there is anything that they can do that will increase the chances that Jessie will have high levels of self-esteem. What can you tell Frank and Kathie about the factors that influence self-esteem? QuestionID: 11-3-11 Page-Reference: 340-342 Topic: Self-Esteem Skill: Applied Objective: 11.2.3. What factors influence the development of self-esteem? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Many aspects of parenting are related to children's self-esteem. Children have higher levels of self-esteem when their parents are affectionate with them, are involved with them, set rules for them, and discuss rules and discipline with them. Children have higher self-esteem when families live in harmony. Also, a nurturing school environment enhances self-esteem. Teachers (and parents) should be cautious as to the kind of praise that they give to children. Adults may think that praise aids self-esteem, but constant praise, such as being told "you're great" or "you're so smart," can cause a decrease in self-worth and performance. General praise for ability can lead the child to choose easy options or to not try hard for fear of failure. Praise that focuses on effort encourages the child to try hard, even if the task seems difficult. Finally, children value the opinions of peers. Self-worth is greater when children and adolescents believe that their peers think highly of them In summary, Frank and Kathie can contribute to Jessie's self-esteem by practising the type of parenting that is associated with high self-esteem, by choosing a school that provides a nurturing environment, and by encouraging relationships with supportive peers. 12. Suzanne and Da love their children and want them to feel good about themselves and to be successful.

55
Skill: Application Objective: 11.2.3. What factors influence the development of self-esteem? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: General praise for ability can lead the child to view intelligence as "fixed" and to choose easy tasks so that they do not fail. In contrast, changing the praise to refer to the effort the child put into the task "I like how much time you worked on that problem. Good job for trying so hard" leads children to view intelligence as "malleable." This leads to an increase in children's persistence after an apparent setback and also to increased grades. 13. Briefly describe some outcomes associated with low self-esteem. QuestionID: 11-3-13 Page-Reference: 342-343 Topic: Self-Esteem Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.4.4.

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Peer problems - Greater risk for psychological disorders such as depression - More likely to be involved in bullying and aggressive behaviour - More likely to do poorly in school 14. Discuss depression in adolescence. QuestionID: 11-3-14 Page-Reference: 342-343 Topic: Who am I? Self-Concept Skill: Conceputal Objective: 11.4.4. Is children's development affected by low self-esteem? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Depression involves pervasive feelings of sadness and adolescents with depression will often demonstrate irritability, low self-esteem, poor sleep, and the inability to concentrate. - About 5 percent of males and 12 percent of females aged 12 to 19 years have experienced a major depressive episode in Canada. - Depression is often triggered when adolescents experience a serious loss, disappointment, or failure. - Temperament seems to be linked to depression: Children who are less able to regulate their emotions are, as adolescents, more prone to depression. - Another factor is a belief system in which adolescents see themselves in an extremely negative light. - Parents and families can also put an adolescent at risk for depression (e.g., when parents are emotionally distant, uninvolved, contemptuous and cruel; when family life is stressful). - Heredity also plays a role with neurotransmitters often being the underlying mechanism. - Treatment of depression includes medical therapy (e.g., antidepressants) and psychotherapy. - Psychotherapy is often a better choice for treating depressed adolescents.

As children develop, how do they describe others differently? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Young children describe people in terms of concrete features, such as appearance, possessions, and preferences. By age 10, children move beyond the purely concrete and observable in describing others and they begin to include psychological traits. During adolescence, descriptions become more complex and more abstract. Adolescents focus on psychological traits such as understanding and concern for others' feelings and their descriptions become more integrated and cohesive. 16. Name and briefly describe Selman's five stages of perspective taking. QuestionID: 11-3-16 Page-Reference: 345-347 Topic: Understanding Others Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.3.2. How does understanding of others' thinking change as children develop? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Undifferentiated Children know that self and others can have different thoughts and feelings but often confuse the two. - Social-informational Children know that perspectives differ because people have access to different information. - Self-reflective Children can step into another's shoes and view themselves as others do; they know that others can do the same. - Third person Children and adolescents can step outside of the immediate situation to see how they and another person are viewed by a third person. - Societal Adolescents realize that a third person's perspective is influenced by broader personal, social, and cultural contexts. 17.

Your friends don't find this behaviour acceptable and they want to reduce their daughter's prejudice. What advice can you give your friends? QuestionID: 11-3-17 Page-Reference: 347-351 Topic: Understanding Others Skill: Applied Objective: 11.3.3. When do children develop prejudice toward others? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following:
57
Prejudice is a negative view of others based on their membership in a specific group. Prejudice is often high in preschool and kindergarten children who attribute positive traits to members of their own group and negative traits to members of other groups. Prejudice usually declines during the elementary-school years as children begin to understand that people in social groups are heterogeneous. However, prejudice might increase as children reach adolescence. One way of reducing prejudice is to encourage friendly and constructive contacts between children from different groups. For example, a teacher can give an assignment that requires children from different groups to work together toward a common goal. Adults also can have children role play being victims of prejudice and discrimination to increase their awareness and understanding of prejudice. 18. Patterson and Bigler (2006) conducted an interesting study on bias and prejudice using T-shirts in a preschool. Briefly describe the study and the results. QuestionID: 11-3-18 Page-Reference: 347-351 Topic: Understanding Others Skill: Conceptual Objective: 11.3.3. When do children develop prejudice toward others? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Children in two classrooms were divided into two groups. One group wore red T-shirts each day, the other group wore blue T-shirts. However, in one classroom the teacher made a point of talking about the two groups. E.g., she would say "Hello Reds, Hello Blues" and she had a line where they entered the class separately. At the end of the study the children in the class that made colour an important feature tended to play with the kids in their own group more, they thought that a new child would want to join their group, etc. The children in the control group (who just wore the T-shirts) did not develop these perceptions.

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - At one year of age, infants become aware that people impose demands on them and they must react accordingly. - At two years of age, toddlers have internalized some of the controls imposed by others and are capable of some self-control in their parents' absence. - At three years of age, children become capable of self-regulation. 2. Lyndon is an eight-year-old boy who wants to have everything now! He seems unable to wait for anything. For example, although his parents have encouraged him to save a small portion of his weekly allowance, Lyndon invariably spends all of it, usually on the day that he receives it. How might his parents encourage Lyndon to exercise self-control and delay gratification? QuestionID: 12-3-02 Page-Reference: 356-357 Topic: Self-Control
49
Skill: Applied Objective: 12.1.2. What factors influence children's ability to maintain self-control? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: First, Lyndon's parents might want to examine their own behaviour. Are they overly strict and controlling with Lyndon or do they establish well-defined limits on what behaviour is acceptable in a warm and loving way? Children of parents who are very strict and controlling do not internalize self-control, while children of nurturing parents who set clear guidelines for behaviour show greater self-control. Second, do Lyndon's parents engage in monologues in which they simply assert their power? If so, they should change their behaviour and engage in dialogues filled with suggestions and negotiations. Third, during the waiting period while Lyndon is delaying gratification, they can help Lyndon wait by providing distractions and by helping him find ways not to think about the things that he wants to buy. 3.

It is a belief that breaking a rule always leads to punishment. - Moral relativism is a stage that children reach at about eight years of age. This stage is characterized by an understanding that rules are created by people to help them get along. 4.

QuestionID: 12-3-04 Page-Reference: 360-363 Topic: Reasoning About Moral Issues Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.2. How do concern for justice and caring for other people contribute to moral reasoning? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Preconventional level—Moral reasoning is controlled almost solely by obedience to authority and by rewards and punishment. * Stage 1—Obedience orientation: a person in this stage does what people in authority say to avoid being punished * Stage 2—Instrumental orientation: a person in this stage looks out for his/her own needs and acts morally in order to receive rewards - Conventional level—Moral decision-making is based on social norm; what is expected by others.

* Stage 3—Interpersonal norms: a person in this stage acts according to others' expectations to win the approval of others * Stage 4—Social systems morality: a person in this stage believes that laws exist to maintain order within society and to promote the good of all people - Preconventional level—Moral decisions are based on personal, moral principles * Stage 5—Social contract orientation: a person in this stage believes in a social contract, a common set of laws and expectations that benefit all people and that can be changed when they no longer promote the welfare of individuals * Stage 6—Universal ethical principles: a person in this stage believes in abstract principles like justice, compassion, and equality and acts in accordance with those principles even when they conflict with society's expectations 5. Name and briefly explain Kohlberg's three levels of moral reasoning. QuestionID: 12-3-05 Page-Reference: 360-363 Topic: Reasoning About Moral Issues Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.2. How do concern for justice and caring for other people contribute to moral reasoning? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Preconventional level—Moral reasoning is controlled almost solely by obedience to authority and by rewards and punishment. - Conventional level—Moral decision-making is based on social norms; what is expected by others. - Preconventional level—Moral decisions are based on personal, moral principles. 6. Critique Kohlberg's theory. QuestionID: 12-3-06 Page-Reference: 360-363 Topic: Reasoning about Moral Issues Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.2. How do concern for justice and caring for other people contribute to moral reasoning? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: Support for theory: - There exists support for the idea that older thinkers are more advanced in their moral development. - Longitudinal studies show that individuals progress through each stage in sequence, and virtually no individuals skip stages, just as Kohlberg proposed. - Longitudinal studies also show that, over time, individuals become more advanced in their level of moral reasoning or remain at the same level. - Further support comes from research on the link between moral reasoning and moral behaviour – less advanced moral reasoning reflects the influence of external forces such as rewards and social norms, whereas more advanced reasoning is based on a personal moral code. Weaknesses: - Moral reasoning is not as consistent as would be expected from the theory.
51
- Kohlberg claimed that his sequence of stages is universal; it does not appear to be. Moral reasoning might be based on different values in different cultures. 7. Explain and give an example of a "white lie" that might be told by a Chinese child compared to a North American child. QuestionID: 12-3-07 Page-Reference: 363-365 Topic: Reasoning about Moral Issues Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.3. What factors help promote more sophisticated reasoning about moral issues? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Most elementary children believe that lying is sometimes justified depending on the circumstances. Chinese school children believe that lying is acceptable when it helps the group. North American children believe that lying is justifiable when to prevent an individual's feelings from being hurt. The example given in the text is that if a friend sings poorly, the Chinese person might say "sorry there is no more room in the choir" (protecting the group), whereas the North American child might tell the choir that their friend sings well (protecting the friend). 8. Discuss the idea that there is an evolutionary basis to moral judgments. QuestionID: 12-3-08 Page-Reference: 363-365 Topic: Reasoning about Moral Issues Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.3. What factors help promote more sophisticated reasoning about moral issues? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The gist of the argument is that a sense of morality evolved to allow early humans to live together in groups. - According to this idea, an innate moral sense would include three essential components: 1) moral goodness (feeling concern for others and helping them in time of need); 2) moral evaluation (identifying and disliking group members who do not cooperate); and 3) moral retribution (punishing group members whose behaviour undermines the group). - Consistent with this theory, each of these components has been observed in infants. 9. Describe three skills that underlie prosocial behaviour. QuestionID: 12-3-09 Page-Reference: 369-370 Topic: Helping Others Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.2. What skills do children need to behave prosocially? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Perspective-taking is related to prosocial behaviour. The better that children understand the thoughts and
52
feelings of other people, the more willing they are to share and help others. - Empathy, the ability to experience another person's emotions, is related to prosocial behaviour. Children who feel another person's fear, disappointment, sorrow, or loneliness are more inclined to help that person than children who do not feel these emotions. - More advanced moral reasoning is associated with an increase in prosocial behaviour. As children mature and begin to make moral decisions on the basis of fairness and justice, they become more prosocial. 10. Discuss situational influences on prosocial behaviour. QuestionID: 12-3-10 Page-Reference: 370-371 Topic: Helping Others Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.2.3. What situations influence children's prosocial behaviour? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - feelings of responsibility: children will act altruistically when they feel responsible for the person in need. - feelings of competence: children act altruistically when they feel that they have the skills necessary to help. - mood: children act altruistically when they are happy or feeling successful but not when they are sad or feeling as if they have failed. - cost of altruism: children act altruistically when it entails few or modest sacrifices. 11. Your friend, Enrique, told you that he would like his young son Joe to grow up to be a nice, helpful person. What can you tell Enrique about parental behaviours that are related to socializing prosocial behaviour? QuestionID: 12-3-11 Page-Reference: 372-373 Topic: Helping Others Skill: Applied Objective: 12.2.5. How can parents encourage their children to act prosocially? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Research has found three parental behaviours that are related to socializing prosocial behaviour in children. First, parents who use reasoning in their disciplinary style tend to have children who are more altruistic. These parents emphasize the consequences for others when their children misbehave. They also emphasize the rights and needs of others. Repeated exposure to reasoning during discipline seems to promote children's ability to take the perspective of other people. Second, parents whose children are more altruistic model altruistic behaviour for their children. Third, children who are routinely given opportunities to behave prosocially, such as setting the table for dinner, are more likely to be helpful spontaneously. So, by using reasoning in discipline, modelling altruistic behaviour, and requiring Joe to help with household chores Enrique will increase the likelihood that Joe will engage in altruistic behaviour. 12.

Page-Reference: 374-375 Topic: Aggression Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.4.1. When does aggressive behaviour first emerge? How stable is aggression across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Instrumental aggression—the child uses aggression to achieve an explicit goal - Hostile aggression—unprovoked aggression with the sole goal to humiliate, intimidate, or harass - Reactive aggression—one child's behaviour leads to another child's aggression - Relational aggression—children try to hurt others by undermining their social relationships 13. Discuss biological contributions to aggression. QuestionID: 12-3-13 Page-Reference: 375-383 Topic: Aggression Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.4.2. How do families, television, and the child's own thoughts contribute to aggression? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - biology and heredity to contribute to aggression (as does the environment). - certain genotypes may predispose individuals to antisocial behaviour. - researchers in Quebec found significant effects of genes on aggression (physical aggression). - important to note that the research doesn't tell us that aggression per se is inherited; instead that children inherit factors that place them at risk for aggressive behaviour. - Temperament, for example, seems to be linked to aggressive behaviour. - Hormones are also linked to aggression (e.g., testosterone). - Neurotransmitters also linked to aggression (e.g., some children may have a deficit in neurotransmitters that inhibit aggressive behaviour). - none of these factors CAUSES a child to be aggressive – but instead, they make aggressive behaviour more likely. 14. Your friends are the parents of an aggressive six-year-old son. When their son behaves aggressively, they spank him to punish him for his behaviour. They have not seen any improvement in his behaviour and they have asked you for advice. What can you tell them about parental behaviour that is related to aggression in children? QuestionID: 12-3-14 Page-Reference: 375-383 Topic: Aggression Skill: Applied Objective: 12.4.2. How do families, television, and the child's own thoughts contribute to aggression? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Your friends should examine their behaviour because parents and siblings play a large role in cultivating
54
aggressive behaviour in children. First, your friends should stop spanking their son because physical punishment only suppresses aggression in the short-term and it provides the child with a model that aggression does work to control others. Controlling parenting is one of the largest factors in children's aggressive behaviour. Other parental behaviours such as being coercive, unresponsive, emotionally uninvested, showing low-key anger, generating unfair accusations, and demonstrating frequent expressions of irritation at a child's behaviour are related to greater aggression in children. Second, your friends need to determine if they are punishing their son even when he is behaving appropriately. Once parents label a child as aggressive, they are more likely to accuse that child of aggression and punish the child even when he is acting appropriately. Third, your friends should discourage aggression (by punishing it or ignoring it) while encouraging and rewarding other nonaggressive behaviours. 15. Discuss the influence of community and culture on aggression. QuestionID: 12-3-15 Page-Reference: 375-383 Topic: Aggression Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.4.2. How do families, television, and the child's own thoughts contribute to aggression? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - television and video games: most TV programs targeted at children contain acts of physical aggression: there is a link between viewing television/playing aggressive video games and aggressive behaviour - peers: aggressive children tend to befriend other aggressive children; more aggressive behaviour is the result. - failure in school: aggressive children are often uninterested in school and their grades reflect this. Aggressive children's behaviour may interfere with their learning or they may have difficulty learning in school and that makes them act out in an aggressive manner. - poverty: aggressive and antisocial behaviour is more common among children living in poverty than among children who are economically advantaged. - culture of violence: experience to violence fosters aggressive behaviour in children and adolescents. 16. Briefly explain the relationship between failure in school and aggression. QuestionID: 12-3-16 Page-Reference: 378-383 Topic: Aggression Skill: Conceptual Objective: 12.4.2. How do families, television, and the child's own thoughts contribute to aggression? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: School failure may breed aggressive behaviour and aggressive behaviour in turn leads to school failure. In other words, it may be a vicious circle in which the starting point can be either aggressive behaviour or school failure. 17. Discuss the negative impact of bullying.

Describe gender differences in mathematics during the elementary school years and during high school and college. QuestionID: 13-3-01 Page-Reference: 389-391 Topic: Differences Related to Gender Skill: Conceptual Objective: 13.2.1. How do boys and girls differ in physical development, intellectual abilities, and social behaviour? What factors are responsible for these gender differences? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following:
52
During the elementary school years, girls usually outperform boys on standardized math achievement tests. In high school and college, boys used to get higher scores, but that difference has diminished substantially over the past 25 years; the difference is now negligible. This change apparently reflects efforts to encourage girls to pursue mathematics generally and to take more math courses specifically. 2. Discuss the development of gender stereotypes. QuestionID: 13-3-02 Page-Reference: 389-393 Topic: Gender Stereotypes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 13.1.1. What are gender stereotypes, and how do they differ for males and females?, 13.1.2. How do gender stereotypes influence behaviour? When do children learn their culture's stereotypes for males and females? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - 12-month-old girls and boys look equally at gender-stereotyped toys. - 18-month-old girls and boys look longer at gender-stereotyped toys (for their gender). - At two years of age, toddlers look longer at men performing stereotypical female actions and women performing stereotypical male actions. - By four years of age, children's knowledge of gender-stereotyped activities is extensive. - During elementary school, children expand knowledge of gender-stereotyped traits and behaviours; they learn stereotypes about personality traits and about academic subjects. - During elementary school, they also learn that the traits and occupations associated with males tend to earn more money and have higher social status than those associated with females. - As children develop, they also begin to understand that gender stereotypes do not always apply; older children are more willing than younger children to ignore stereotypes when judging other children. - Older children consider gender stereotypes less binding than many social conventions and moral rules; this change is due to cognitive growth. 3. What are some of the explanations for gender differences in spatial ability? QuestionID: 13-3-03 Page-Reference: 393-405 Topic: Differences Related to Gender Skill: Conceptual Objective: 13.2.1. How do boys and girls differ in physical development, intellectual abilities, and social behaviour? What factors are responsible for these gender differences?, 13.2.2. What are the implications of these gender differences for boys' and girls' development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Silverman and Choi (2006) concluded that there is "dual mechanism" for spatial navigation: Euclidian (direction and distance), which males tend to use, and topographical (placement and landmark use), used more by females. They propose that these evolved as separate mechanisms and that preferential usage emerges at about the same age in boys and girls. - Some scientists propose that the difference is biological. They argue that spatial skill was essential for
53
successful hunting—in navigation and in calculating trajectories for weapons—and may represent an evolutionary adaptation for males. A related idea is that the right hemisphere of the brain may be more specialized for spatial processing in males than in females, perhaps because boys mature more slowly than girls. - Boys are more likely than girls to participate in activities that foster spatial skills. 4. Your friend Gretchen is an elementary school teacher. She told you that she has noticed that the boys in her class seem to have more language problems than the girls. She's also noticed that the girls seem to have better math skills than the boys but this doesn't seem consistent with the fact that few women are in jobs that require extensive mathematical skill. Gretchen wonders if gender differences in verbal and mathematical ability are substantiated by research or if she has unusual students. What can you tell Gretchen about gender differences in mathematical and verbal ability? QuestionID: 13-3-04 Page-Reference: 393-405 Topic: Differences Related to Gender Skill: Applied Objective: 13.2.1. How do boys and girls differ in physical development, intellectual abilities, and social behaviour? What factors are responsible for these gender differences?, 13.2.2. What are the implications of these gender differences for boys' and girls' development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Research does show that females tend to have better verbal ability than males. For example, females score higher on general measures of verbal ability, they are better readers, better writers, and better spellers than boys. Females also have fewer language-related problems than males. Elementary-school girls also perform better on standardized tests of math achievement, but this advantage seems to disappear in high school and college. So, you can tell Gretchen that the students that she has seen conform to the patterns found for the average boy and girl. 5. You and a friend have an argument in which your friend insists that males and females are very different in many intellectual and social domains. What can you tell your friend about gender differences and their importance? QuestionID: 13-3-05 Page-Reference: 393-405 Topic: Differences Related to Gender Skill: Applied Objective: 13.2.1. How do boys and girls differ in physical development, intellectual abilities, and social behaviour? What factors are responsible for these gender differences?, 13.2.2. What are the implications of these gender differences for boys' and girls' development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: First, gender differences have not been found in many domains. In the area of intellectual ability, gender differences have been found in three domains: verbal ability, mathematical ability, and some aspects of spatial ability. In the area of social behaviour, the most firmly established gender difference is greater aggression in males. Gender differences also seem to exist in greater emotional sensitivity and greater susceptibility to social influence in females. Even though these differences exist, the differences in group averages for males and
54
females are very small, which means that there is considerable overlap in the distributions of males and females. Also, even though gender differences have been found in a few intellectual and behavioural domains, there are still many areas in which gender differences have not been found. 6. Compare and contrast the ways that parents treat boys and girls. QuestionID: 13-3-06 Page-Reference: 393-405 Topic: Differences related to Gender Skill: Conceptual Objective: 13.2.1. How do boys and girls differ in physical development, intellectual abilities, and social behaviour? What factors are responsible for these gender differences?, 13.2.2. What are the implications of these gender differences for boys' and girls' development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Parents interact equally with children of both sexes; they are equally warm to both and they encourage both boys and girls to achieve and be independent equally. However, parents react more positively toward their children when their children are playing with gender typical toys (girls = dolls, boys = cars) and mild aggression is tolerated more from boys. Parents also tolerate mild aggression more in sons than in daughters. Fathers are more likely than mothers to treat sons and daughters differently. Fathers tend to encourage gender-related play. As well, they push their sons more but accept dependence in their daughters. 7. You hear a teacher of eight-year-olds saying the girls in her class are far more likely to collaborate than the boys. She maintains that the boys were too busy overtly disagreeing with each other to collaborate over anything. Can you explain this difference in behaviour? QuestionID: 13-3-07 Page-Reference: 405-409 Topic: Gender Identity Skill: Applied Objective: 13.3.1. How do parents, peers, and the media influence children's learning of gender roles? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Some argue that the contrasting styles between boys and girls may have an evolutionary basis. Boys' concerns about dominating others may stem from trying to establish one's place in the tribe/village. Men in the upper ranks had better access to mates and resources. Girls' concerns about affiliation may be a byproduct of the fact that girls traditionally left their own communities; having no relatives nearby enhanced the value of close friends. 8. Explain how (1) social cognitive theorists, (2) Kohlberg's cognitive theory, and (3) gender-schema theory propose that children develop their gender identities.

55
Objective: 13.3.1. How do parents, peers, and the media influence children's learning of gender roles?, 13.3.2. How do cognitive theories explain children's learning of gender roles? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Social cognitive theorists propose that children learn gender roles through reinforcement and observation. - According to Kohlberg's cognitive theory, children gradually develop a full understanding of gender. They first label themselves as being a boy or a girl (gender labelling), then begin to understand that gender is stable (gender stability), and then understand that maleness and femaleness do not change over situations or according to personal wishes (gender constancy). Only children who understand gender constancy should have extensive knowledge of gender stereotypes. - In gender-schema theory, children first decide if an object, activity, or behaviour is female or male, then use this information to decide whether they should learn more about the object, activity, or behaviour. 9. Your six-year-old niece does not like to play with boys. Your brother thinks that this is okay but his wife thinks that your niece should play with both boys and girls. What can you tell your sister-in-law about gender differences in styles of interaction and how that is related to the selection of same-sex playmates? QuestionID: 13-3-09 Page-Reference: 405-409, 415 Topic: Gender Identity Skill: Applied Objective: 13.3.1. How do parents, peers, and the media influence children's learning of gender roles?, 13.4.2. Can parents rear gender-neutral children? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: In general, girls play with girls and boys play with boys. Children tend to choose same-sex playmates even in the absence of any adult pressure to do so. In fact, even when parents encourage boys and girls to play with each other most children will resist. Part of this resistance comes from the fact that boys and girls have very different styles of interacting with peers. Girls' remarks and behaviours tend to provide support for each other. Boys' behaviour tends to be rougher and boys try to dominate each other by using intimidation, threats, and exaggeration. When boys and girls interact, girls find that their enabling style is ineffective with boys. So, your niece is not unusual. 10. Your friend insists that gender differences in behaviour are due totally to socialization—that if you treat males and females exactly the same, there will be no differences between them.

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points:
56
Females that are exposed to unusually large amounts of male hormones during prenatal development tend to prefer masculine activities and male playmates to a greater extent than girls not exposed to these amounts of male hormones. This suggests that male hormones, such as androgen, influence the development of masculine traits. 11. Discuss the newer view of gender roles that is based on the independent dimensions of instrumentality and expressiveness. Be sure to include a discussion of androgyny. QuestionID: 13-3-11 Page-Reference: 413-414 Topic: Gender Identity Skill: conceptual Objective: 13.4.1. What is androgyny, and how is it related to traditional conceptions of masculinity and femininity? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Instrumentality and expressiveness independent of one another; how you score on one doesn't influence how you score on the other. - Traditional males are rated high on instrumentality but low on expressiveness and traditional females are low on instrumentality and high on expressiveness. - This approach recognizes that other combinations of traits are possible. - Androgynous people are rated high on both instrumentality and expressiveness. - Many researchers argue that the ability to react with both instrumental and expressive behaviours is psychologically healthier than reacting primarily with one or the other. - Androgynous children often are better adjusted than children whose gender roles are highly stereotyped. - Benefits of androgyny are greater for girls than for boys, however. 12. Define and give examples of instrumental and expressive traits. How do they fit with gender stereotypes? QuestionID: 13-3-12 Page-Reference: 413-414 Topic: Gender Stereotypes Skill: Conceptual Objective: 13.4.1. What is androgyny, and how is it related to traditional conceptions of masculinity and femininity? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Instrumental traits describe individuals who act on the world and influence it. Examples of instrumental traits are: independent, competitive, aggressive, outgoing, ambitious, self-confident, and dominant. - Expressive traits describe individuals who value emotional functioning and interpersonal relationships. They include: emotional, kind, creative, considerate, gentle, excitable, and aware of others' feelings. - Most adults associate these traits with men and women and these views have changed very little since the 1960s. There is considerable cultural variation in the extent to which instrumental traits fit the male gender stereotype and expressive traits fit the female gender stereotype.

13. Jeannie is eight months pregnant with her first child. She has little use for traditional gender roles and plans for her son or daughter not to view the world in gender-related terms. What can you tell Jeannie about some things that she can do to help achieve her goal and about the influence of other factors in the development of gender stereotypes? QuestionID: 13-3-13 Page-Reference: 413-416 Topic: Gender Roles in Transition Skill: Applied Objective: 13.4.1. What is androgyny, and how is it related to traditional conceptions of masculinity and femininity?, 13.4.2. Can parents rear gender-neutral children? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: First, Jeannie should be aware of the fact that many parents encourage sex-typed play and assign sex-typed chores around the home. Fathers are more likely than mothers to encourage sex-typed behaviour and to treat sons and daughters differently. Jeannie and her husband will need to make a conscious effort to model chores and behaviours that are not gender-bound. Also, they should base decisions about their child's toys and activities on the child's interests not the child's sex. Second, Jeannie also should be aware of the fact that in spite of her best efforts her child will probably adhere to some traditional gender-related behaviour and stereotypes. Parental influence on gender roles is minimal because children also are influenced by peers, the media, and teachers. The results of the Family Lifestyles Project have shown that children whose parents are deeply committed to rearing them without traditional gender stereotypes are still similar to children who are raised in traditional homes. These children still prefer same-sex playmates and they like gender-stereotyped activities.

QuestionID: 14-3-01 Page-Reference: 419-428 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.1.1. How do parenting styles and parent behaviours affect children's development? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Authoritarian parenting combines high control with little warmth. Parents make the rules and expect them to be obeyed without discussion. These parents value hard work, respect, and obedience. - Authoritative parenting combines a fair degree of parental control with being warm and responsive to children. These parents give explanations for rules and encourage discussion. - Permissive parents are warm and caring but exert little control over their children. These parents pay attention to their children but rarely punish them. - Uninvolved parents are neither warm nor controlling. They provide for their children's basic physical and emotional needs but little else. They try to minimize the time spent with their children and avoid becoming emotionally involved with them. 2. You and your spouse want to use a consistent style of parenting in raising your son. Your spouse was raised in an authoritarian home where the children did as they were told without questioning. You were raised in an authoritative home in which your parents had firm rules but they could be flexible about these rules. Based on what you know about the outcomes of children from authoritarian and authoritative homes, which style of parenting would be the best for you and your spouse to choose? Explain your answer.
95
QuestionID: 14-3-02 Page-Reference: 419-428 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied Objective: 14.1.1. How do parenting styles and parent behaviours affect children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The authoritative style of parenting is consistently associated with positive developmental outcomes. Children of authoritative parents are more responsible, self-reliant, and friendly, and have higher marks. In contrast, children of authoritarian parents are often unhappy, have low self-esteem, and frequently are overly aggressive. Based on the research, authoritative parenting is the best style of parenting to choose. 3. Julie, who is a Canadian of European descent, and Jiang, who lives in China, met while cruising the Pacific and, as they got to know each other, they started comparing their cultures. When they got to the topic of parenting behaviour, what differences between their two cultures would you expect them to discover? QuestionID: 14-3-03 Page-Reference: 419-428 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied Objective: 14.1.1. How do parenting styles and parent behaviours affect children's development? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Julie is likely to report that parents in her culture want their children to be happy and self-reliant, and that most parents think the best way to achieve that goal is to be warm and exert moderate control over children. Jiang, however, is likely to tell a slightly different story. Parents in China, as in many other Asian and Latin American countries, put less value on individualism and more importance on cooperation and collaboration. Confucian principles say that parents are always right, and that emotional restraint is the key to family harmony. So, Chinese parents tend to be less warm towards their children and more controlling than American parents. 4. You and your fiancé want to determine whether you are truly compatible before you get married and so have been discussing your ideas about parenting. Your fiancé tells you that when he was a child, his parents used only one form of discipline—spanking—and because he seemed to turn out all right, that's how he plans to discipline his children. You, however, would prefer not to use physical punishment and, instead, want to rely more on reinforcement, time-out, and reasoning. How would you (1) explain these alternative parenting techniques to your fiancé and (2) tell him some of your concerns about the use of punishment? QuestionID: 14-3-04 Page-Reference: 419-428 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied Objective: 14.1.1. How do parenting styles and parent behaviours affect children's development?
96
Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - Reinforcement is any action that increases the likelihood of the response that it follows. When parents use reinforcement, they reward the behaviours that they want children to perform more often—behaviours like studying and being polite. Parents may use praise as reinforcement. - Time-out involves having a child who is misbehaving briefly sit alone in a quiet, unstimulating environment. Time-out is punishing because it interrupts the child's ongoing activity and isolates the child from other family members, toys, and other rewarding stimulation. During time-out, both parent and child usually calm down. When time-out is over, the parent should talk to the child and explain why the misbehaviour was not acceptable and what the child should do instead. Reasoning like this is effective because it emphasizes why a child was punished and how punishment can be avoided in the future. - Research suggests that punishment is not a very effective way to change children's behaviour. When punishment is used, children are told only what not to do. They don't learn new behaviours to replace those that were punished. Punishment also has some undesirable side effects. Children may become angry and upset when punished and that might interfere with their learning why they were punished. Also, children who are punished physically often imitate that behaviour and become aggressive with siblings and peers (because children learn a great deal through observational learning and counterimitation). Furthermore, when physical punishment is condoned, there is an increased risk of child abuse. 5. Discuss briefly two characteristics of children that influence how parents treat them. QuestionID: 14-3-05 Page-Reference: 428-429 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.1.2. How do children help determine how parents rear them? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The two characteristics are age and temperament. - Age: Age-related changes in parenting are evident in the two basic dimensions of parental behaviour—warmth and control. - Warmth: Manifestation of parental affection changes with age, becoming more reserved as children develop. - Parental control: As children develop cognitively and are better able to make their own decisions, parents gradually relinquish control and expect children to assume more responsibility for themselves. - Temperament: A child's temperament can have a powerful effect on parental behaviour. - Parenting behaviour and styles often evolve as a consequence of the child's behaviour. - Influence is reciprocal: Children's behaviour helps determine how parents treat them and the resulting parental behaviour influences children's behaviour, which in turn causes parents to again change their behaviour. 6. Your friends Mark and Bianca are getting an amicable divorce. They have two sons and they want to do all that they can to provide the best circumstances for the adjustment of their sons. Based on the research on the adjustment to parental divorce, what suggestions would you give Mark and Bianca? QuestionID: 14-3-06 Page-Reference: 429-436 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied
97
Objective: 14.1.3. What are the effects upon children of different kinds of families? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: - You could comment that it is good they're not fighting and in conflict, because research shows that chronic parental conflict is harmful to children; children and adolescents exposed to parental conflict often become anxious, withdrawn, and aggressive, and are more prone to chronic diseases and to be abusive in their own romantic relationships. - Fortunately, Mark and Bianca get along and they are concerned about their sons' adjustment to the divorce. Mark and Bianca should: * explain together to children why they are divorcing and what their children can expect to happen; * reassure children that they will always love them and will always be their parents; back up these words with actions by remaining involved in their children's lives, despite the increased difficulty of doing so; and * expect that their children will sometimes be angry or sad about the divorce; encourage children to discuss these feelings with them. They should not: * compete with each other for their children's love and attention; children adjust to divorce best when they maintain good relationships with both parents; * take out their anger with each other on their children; * criticize their ex-spouse in front of the children; or * ask children to mediate disputes; parents should work out problems without putting the children in the middle. 7. Name and briefly describe the five different styles of grandparenting. QuestionID: 14-3-07 Page-Reference: 429-436 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.1.3. What are the effects upon children of different kinds of families? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Influential—very close to their grandchildren, very involved in their lives, frequently perform parental roles including discipline - Supportive—similar to influential (close and involved) but do not take on parental roles - Authority-oriented—provide discipline for their grandchildren but are otherwise not particularly active in their grandchildren's lives - Passive—caught up in their grandchildren's development but not with the intensity of influential or supportive grandparents; do not assume parental roles - Detached—uninvolved with their grandchildren 8.

98
Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied Objective: 14.1.3. What are the effects upon children of different kinds of families? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Most of the studies of the children with gay or lesbian parents have been done with children who were born in heterosexual marriages that ended when one parent revealed his or her homosexuality. In general, the development of children of gay or lesbian parents does not differ from the development of children of heterosexual parents. Preschool children of gay or lesbian parents identify with their own gender and develop typical gender-based activities, friends, etc. As adolescents and young adults, the vast majority of these children are heterosexual. On other dimensions, children of gay and lesbian parents do not differ in terms of selfconcept, social skill, moral reasoning, and intelligence. Based on the research, your brother should be assured that his children are no more likely to develop problems with a lesbian mother than with a heterosexual mother. You should also point out that while your sister-in-law's sexual orientation will not negatively impact his children, his intolerant view of your sister-in-law could have damaging effects. 9. List some common traits associated with firstborn, laterborn, and only children.

What determines how well siblings get along? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Firstborns—higher scores on intelligence tests, more likely to go to college, more willing to conform to parents' and adults' requests - Laterborns—more popular with peers, more innovative - Only children—higher levels of intelligence, leadership, autonomy, and maturity 10. Describe the differences in parental treatment of firstborn and laterborn children and the differences that are commonly found in the characteristics of firstborns and laterborns. QuestionID: 14-3-10 Page-Reference: 436-441 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.1.4. How do sibling relationships change as children grow? What determines how well siblings get along? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Parents tend to treat firstborns differently than laterborns. Parents tend to have higher expectations for firstborns and are both more affectionate and more punitive with them. Firstborns, possibly because of these differences in parental treatment, usually have higher scores on intelligence tests and are more likely to go to college than laterborns. They also are more willing to conform to parents' and adults' requests.
99
Parents tend to have more realistic expectations and are more relaxed in their discipline with laterborns. Laterborn children are less concerned about pleasing parents and adults but need to get along with older siblings. Laterborns tend to be more popular with their peers and are more innovative. 11. You and your spouse have one wonderful daughter and you are trying to decide if you should have another child. On the one hand, you are quite content with your daughter. On the other hand, your spouse is afraid that your daughter will be selfish, spoiled, and self-centered in she is an only child. Based on what you know about only children, what would you tell your spouse? QuestionID: 14-3-11 Page-Reference: 436-441 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied Objective: 14.1.4. How do sibling relationships change as children grow? What determines how well siblings get along? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The research shows that only children are better off in many ways than children with siblings. A comprehensive analysis of more than 100 studies has shown that only children were found to be more likely to succeed in school than other children and to have higher levels of intelligence, leadership, autonomy, and maturity. Only children seem to benefit considerably from a lifetime of exclusive parental attention. 12. Your friend Shabrisha is concerned because her seven-year-old daughter and five-year-old son seem to fight constantly. Shabrisha's daughter has always been temperamental and Shabrisha thinks that the fighting may be her fault. Shabrisha remembers being very close to her sister when they were children and she thinks that her own children might be unusual because they fight so much. What can you tell Shabrisha about the factors that are related to harmonious relationships between siblings? QuestionID: 14-3-12 Page-Reference: 436-441 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Applied Objective: 14.1.4. How do sibling relationships change as children grow? What determines how well siblings get along? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: The first factor that is related to the quality of sibling relationships is gender. Same-sex siblings tend to have better relationships than opposite-sex siblings. The second factor is temperament. Siblings tend to have better relationships when neither child is emotionally temperamental. Third, if children believe that their parents do not have favourites they will have a better relationship with each other. Fourth, relationships generally improve as the younger sibling approaches adolescence. Fifth, less conflict between parents is related to less conflict between siblings. Based on these factors, Shabrisha's children already have two factors working against a harmonious relationship: they are a mixed-sex pair and one of them is emotionally temperamental. Shabrisha also should look at her treatment of her children to see if she plays favourites and at the quality of her relationship with her husband. Even if there is nothing that she can do, the sibling relationship should improve as her son approaches adolescence.

QuestionID: 14-3-13 Page-Reference: 441-447 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.1.5. What happens when parent-child relationships go awry? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The prognosis for youngsters exposed to maltreatment is not very good. - Some children will suffer permanent physical damage. - Even when there is no lasting physical damage, children's social and emotional development is often disrupted. - Children who experience maltreatment tend to have poor relationships with peers, often because they are too aggressive. - Maltreated children's cognitive development and academic performance are also disturbed. - Also, school-related behaviour problems such as being disruptive in class are common, in part because maltreated children are often socially unskilled, do not regulate their emotions well, and don't recognize others' emotions accurately. - Some children will be remarkably resilient to the effects of abuse – one factor that protects children is their ego-resilience (denotes children's ability to respond adaptively and resourcefully to new situations). - Another protective factor is being engaged in school. 14. Describe (1) social/cultural, (2) parental, and (3) child factors that contribute to child abuse. QuestionID: 14-3-14 Page-Reference: 441-447 Topic: Parenting and Family Relationships Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.1.5. What happens when parent-child relationships go awry? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - A culture's view of physical punishment contributes to the incidence of child abuse. Countries that do not condone physical punishment tend to have lower rates of child abuse than countries that do. Maltreatment is more common in families living in poverty. Abuse is more common when families are socially isolated from other relatives or neighbours. - Parents who abuse their children were sometimes abused as children. They often have high expectations for their children but do little to help them achieve these goals. They rely upon physical punishment to control their children. - Infants and preschoolers are more often abused than older ones, probably because they are less able to regulate aversive behaviours that elicit abuse. Children who are frequently ill are more often abused. By increasing the stress level in a family, sick children can inadvertently become the targets of abuse. 15. Your friend Brad is concerned about his 12-month-old son Phillip's social development. Brad has
101
noticed that Phillip will sit next to another child his own age and each of them will do his own puzzle rather than cooperating on one puzzle together. Occasionally, they will look at each other, smile, and say a word or two. Brad feels that Phillip should be interacting more with his peers. What can you tell Brad about the development of play in toddlers and preschoolers that will alleviate his concerns? QuestionID: 14-3-15 Page-Reference: 447-451 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Applied Objective: 14.2.1. When do children first begin to interact with each other, and how do these interactions change during infancy, childhood, and adolescence? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: First, Brad should know that Phillip is engaging in parallel play. This type of play is quite common in 12- to 15month-old children. In parallel play, social interactions are as basic as one child smiling and talking with the other child responding. Around 15 to 18 months, children's social interactions become truly interactive when associative play appears. It isn't until around the second birthday that cooperative play, such as building a tower together with blocks, begins to appear. Throughout the preschool years, parallel play becomes less common and cooperative play becomes more common. So, Brad shouldn't expect to see cooperative play in Phillip for at least another year. 16. Your brother is worried because his four-year-old son has an imaginary playmate. What can you tell him about how common or uncommon imaginary playmates are during the preschool years and what is known about children who have imaginary playmates? QuestionID: 14-3-16 Page-Reference: 447-451 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Applied Objective: 14.2.1. When do children first begin to interact with each other, and how do these interactions change during infancy, childhood, and adolescence? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Your brother needn't worry about the fact that his son has an imaginary playmate. They are quite common during the preschool years. Moreover, having an imaginary playmate is associated with many positive characteristics. Children who have imaginary playmates tend to be more sociable, have more real friends, and have greater self-knowledge than children who do not have imaginary playmates. In addition, among older children who are at risk for developing behaviour problems, an imaginary companion promotes better adjustment during adolescence. So, your brother should enjoy his son's vivid imagination and realize that an imaginary friend at this age is perfectly normal. 17. Discuss ways that parents can get involved in their preschool children's play. QuestionID: 14-3-17 Page-Reference: 447-451 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences
102
Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.2.1. When do children first begin to interact with each other, and how do these interactions change during infancy, childhood, and adolescence? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - There are several ways parents get involved: - 1) Playmate – Many parents enjoy the role of playmate and use the opportunity to scaffold their children's play, often raising it to more sophisticated levels. - 2) Social director – Many parents of young children arrange play dates and activities. - 3) Coach – Parents help their children learn to initiate interactions, make joint decisions, and resolve conflicts. When parents help their children acquire these skills, children tend to be more competent socially and to be more accepted by their peers. But the coaching must be constructive. - 4) Mediator – When parents are present to iron out conflicts, children play more cooperatively and longer. 18. Discuss the factors that determine who will become friends. QuestionID: 14-3-18 Page-Reference: 451-455 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.2.2. Why do children become friends, and what are the benefits of friendship? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - In childhood and adolescence, most friends are alike in age, sex and race. - Although children's friendships are overwhelmingly with members of their own sex, a few children have friendships with other-sex children. Children with same- and other-sex friendships tend to be better adjusted than those with just same-sex friends. In addition, children with only other-sex friends are more likely to be socially unskilled and unpopular. - Other-sex friendships more common among teenagers. - Friendships are more common between children and adolescents who are similar in race or ethnicity; but friendships among children of different groups are more common in schools where classes are smaller and when a child's school and neighbourhood are ethnically diverse. - Friends also tend to be alike in popularity. 19. At a recent parent council meeting at your daughter's high school, a group of parents proposed that the school store should sell low-priced condoms to slow down the increasing number of teenage pregnancies in the school. These parents suggested that many students do not use contraceptives because they are too expensive or they don't know how to obtain them. These parents also said that parents can't stop teens from having sex so the teens might as well have contraceptives readily available to them. What can you tell the parent council about programs that are effective in delaying sexual intercourse and increasing the use of contraceptives by teens? QuestionID: 14-3-19 Page-Reference: 455-458 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Applied
103
Objective: 14.2.3. When do romantic relationships emerge in adolescence? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: You can tell the parent council that while it is true that some teens do not use contraceptives because they do not know how to obtain them, there are many other factors that are related to sexual activity and the use of contraceptives. For example, teens are more likely to have intercourse when they believe that their friends and parents have positive attitudes about sex. Adolescents may not use contraceptives because they are ignorant of many of the true facts about conception. Comprehensive sex education programs that teach the biological aspects of sex and emphasize responsible sexual behaviour or abstinence are effective in delaying sexual activity and increasing the use of contraceptives when sexual activity does occur. A key element seems to be role-playing sessions where students practise strategies for refusing to have sex. 20. Your friend Enrique has a co-worker that he thinks is gay. Enrique said that he thought that his coworker was gay because the co-worker's mother must have been domineering, and his co-worker could become heterosexual if he really wanted. What can you tell Enrique about the myths surrounding the causes of homosexuality and the role of biology in determining sexual orientation? QuestionID: 14-3-20 Page-Reference: 455-458 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Applied Objective: 14.2.3. When do romantic relationships emerge in adolescence? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Enrique should know that research has shown that a number of the myths that people have about sexual orientation are wrong. The myths include the belief that sons become gay when they are reared by a domineering mother and a weak father, that girls become lesbians because their fathers are their primary role models, that children who are reared by homosexual parents usually become homosexual themselves, and that homosexual adults were seduced by an older, same-sex person when they were children. In fact, many scientists now believe that biology plays an important role in determining sexual orientation by influencing heredity and hormones. Another idea is that genes and hormones lead to temperaments that affect children's preference for same- and opposite-sex activities. Children who do not enjoy gender typical activities may develop a different gender identity. In other words, Enrique's co-worker probably won't be able to change his sexual orientation by simply "wanting to" any more than he could change the colour of his eyes. 21. It is commonly believed that peer pressure is always negative and "all-powerful". Refute this idea. QuestionID: 14-3-21 Page-Reference: 458-460 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Conceptual Objective: 14.2.4. What are the important features and influences of groups in childhood and adolescence? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - The stereotype is that teenagers exert enormous pressure on each other to behave antisocially—in reality, peer pressure is neither all-powerful nor always evil.
104
- For example, most adolescents resist peer pressure to behave in ways that are clearly antisocial; this resistance increases from mid to late adolescence. - Peer pressure can be positive; peers often urge one another to work hard in school, participate in activities, or to become involved in community action projects. - A lot of groups now work on positive peer pressure specifically for girls as well. - Peer pressure is not all-powerful. Instead, peer influence is stronger when 1) youth are younger and more socially anxious; 2) peers have high status; 3) peers are friends; and 4) standards for appropriate behaviour are not clear-cut. 22.

Senator Carver thinks that research on popularity and rejection is a waste of time because children's popularity (or lack of it) has nothing to do with their later development. What can you tell the senator about the long-term effects of popularity and rejection on later development? QuestionID: 14-3-23 Page-Reference: 460-462 Topic: Peer Relationships and Influences Skill: Applied Objective: 14.2.5. What are the causes and consequences of popularity and rejection? Answer: A good answer will be similar to the following: Senator Carver should know that in the long run the lack of research on and intervention with rejected children will cost society more. First, rejected children are more likely to drop out of school than their more popular peers. These dropouts are less likely to be productive members of society and are more likely to collect unemployment. Second, rejected children are more likely to commit juvenile offenses and have criminal records thus costing society the expenses associated with the legal system. Third, rejected children are more likely to

suffer from psychopathology. However, rejected children can be helped. Studies have shown that they can be taught how to initiate interactions appropriately, how to communicate clearly, how to act friendly, and how to avoid behaviours that others dislike. Rejected children who learn these skills are more likely to be accepted by peers and avoid the long-term negative effects associated with rejection. 24.

Your friend wants to start leaving her son at home alone to care for himself after he is done school. What would you tell your friend about this desire? QuestionID: 14-3-25 Page-Reference: 463-465 Topic: Influences of Society Skill: Applied Objective: 14.3.1. How are children affected by nonparental childcare? Answer: A good answer will include the following key points: - Children who care for themselves are sometimes called latchkey children and the popular perception is that such children are frightened and endangered. - Research suggests that self-care can be risky under certain circumstances (e.g., youth can get involved in alcohol and drugs when unsupervised), but not others. - Parents need to consider several factors – for example, age of the child. Most experts recommend that children not be left alone at home until they are 12 years old, but others say that some 8-year-olds can care for themselves briefly (an hour to an hour and a half) during the day. - In Canada, the legal minimum age for leaving a child at home alone varies by province and territory, between 10 and 12 years. - More important than age is the child's maturity. - Finally, it's important to consider the neighbourhood as well. - If the "requirements" are met, then self-care will likely work, but the child needs to know after-school routines, rules for their own behaviour, guidelines on how to handle emergencies, and emergency phone numbers. 26.
