Question 1. Part 1 - Why is chronological age not considered a functional age? Part 2 - Briefly describe a hypothetical person whose chronological age is highly discrepant from their functional age

Question 2. Using your knowledge of "normative history-graded influences/events," briefly describe a plausible example that reflects the principle (be really explicit as to what features of your example link to the concept).

Question 3. Fully explain how cohort effects may impact the validity of a cross-sectional design, with specific reference to possible confounds.

Question 4. Describe at least ONE significant advantage to conducting a Sequential/Staggered samples study.

Question 5. Part 1 - Explain Canalization (what controls it and its effects on development)

Part 2 - How might canalization be evident in cases of severe malnutrition?

Question 6. Part 1: Define all of the infant responses/behaviors below.

-Preferential looking -Stimulus habituation/dishabituation -Non-nutritive sucking

Part 2: Explain how they can be useful to researchers studying the cognitive abilities of preverbal infants (e.g., object permanence, knowledge of physical properties, categorization, etc.)

Question 7. Consider infants' development of 1. visual acuity (vision clarity) and 2. Taste-olfactory ability and explain the following:

1- The approximate timeline for their development; and

2- A likely evolutionary reason for why they develop at a different rate.

Question 8. A 9-month-old baby for the first time, picks up a hot pepper and sticks it into his mouth. Will the pain and discomfort lead to assimilation or accommodation? WHY?

Question 9. Why is object permanence so important for later symbolic reasoning within the sensori-motor stage?

Name the sub-stage during the sensori-motor period (be specific/explicit), and fully explain the meaning of this sub-stage, when toddlers engage in pretense play (make-believe) and symbolic thought

Question 10. Explain the evolutionary principles behind attachment theory (i.e., the role of natural selection) What are "natural selection" and "evolution" fundamentally about with regard to attachment?
