41.With regard to the specialized brain of children, which of the following is NOT a relevant principle?
a.Specialization is evident in early development.
b.Specialization progresses very differently between boys and girls.
c.Specialization takes on two forms.
d.Different brain systems specialize at a different rate.
42.Which BEST exemplifies experience-expectant growth?
a.The fact that all infants hear language sounds, which leads to language development.
b.The fact that eating high-fat foods leads to obesity.
c.The fact that abused children often experience depression.
d.The fact that by age two, most children are about three feet tall.
43.A child’s ability to move around in the world is referred to as ________.
a.locomotionc.fine motor skills
b.gross motor skillsd.dynamic motion
44.Felicia and Patty are thrilled that their baby daughter has recently learned to sit up by herself without assistance. According to your textbook, about how old is their daughter?
a.2 months of agec.7 months of age
b.4 months of aged.10 months of age
45.If Tori is a proponent of dynamic systems theory, then you know that she is most interested in
a.the cerebral cortex.c.language development.
b.balance and moving limbs.d.temperament.
46.According to ________ systems theory, learning to walk involves many distinct skills that are organized and reorganized over time to meet specific goals.
a.teratogenicc.fluid
b.dynamicd.static
47.You would think that balance is something that, once learned, you will have mastered for your entire life. In fact, however, balance must be relearned for sitting, crawling, walking, and other postures. Why is this?
a.Because each posture develops independently of others, and thus there is no “central” balance skill that can be learned.
b.Because each posture involves a different part of the brain, and balance must be coordinated with each of those brain areas.
c.Because balance is a “gross motor skill,” and the different postures noted below are all “fine motor skills.”
d.Because the body rotates around different points and different muscles must be used for each posture.
48.Studies of infant stepping behavior on a treadmill demonstrated that
a.the pattern of alternating of steps on each leg precedes the ability to walk.
b.even very young infants can walk without assistance.
c.infants cannot judge the speed of movement of a moving object (e.g., the treadmill).
d.infants will refuse to attempt to walk if held upright.
49.Distinguishing and mastering different motions is to ________ as linking individual motions into a coherent, coordinated whole is to ________.
a.sensorimotor; formal operationsc.formal operations; sensorimotor
b.integration; differentiationd.differentiation; integration
50.Based on the different components of dynamic systems theory, you should not expect a child to be able walk on their own, unsupported, until they reach the age of ________ months.
a.6–9c.12–15
b.9–12d.15–18
