Susie is playing with blocks and is trying to build a tower; she tries but cannot build a

tower. Susie's mother helps her build a four-block tower. Later, Susie builds a four-block

tower without her mother's help. According to Vygotsky, the inability to build the tower on

her own is known as:

a. scaffolding

b. the zone of proximal development

,c. assisted discovery

d. learning by imitation - ✔✔-B. "Scaffolding" is a term used by Vygotsky that explains what Susie's
mother is doing.

She is adjusting her level of support to Susie based on Susie's level of performance. The zone

of proximal development involves a range of tasks that are too difficult for the child to do

alone but possible to do with the help of adults or other, more-skilled children. "Assisted

discovery" is another term used by Vygotsky to describe learning situations that a teacher

sets up within a classroom so that children are guided into discovering learning. Learning

by imitation is a type of learning that involves a child watching someone perform a task and

later performing the task by herself.



According to Erickson, when an individual fails to develop a strong sense of identity, the

individual will have troubles with the development of:

a. autonomy

b. initiative

c. intimacy

d. integrity - ✔✔-C. In Erickson's theory of psychosocial development, individuals who fail to achieve the
goal of the lower level of development will have problems attaining the developmental task at the next
stage of development. In the example above, the individual failed to achieve identity, which occurs
during adolescence. Therefore, in young adulthood, the individual will have problems attaining intimacy,
which is the developmental task to be achieved at

this level. For autonomy, the individual would have to have failed to attain basic trust; for initiative, the
individual would have to have failed to attain autonomy; and for integrity, the

individual would have to have failed to attain generativity.



Which of the following is the correct sequence of stages in Freud's theory of personality

development?

a. Oral, genital, latency, anal, phallic

b. Genital, anal, phallic, oral, latency

c. Latency, phallic, oral, anal, genital

, d. Oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital - ✔✔-D. The best way to remember Freud's psychosexual stages of
development is to think about what key tasks individuals do throughout childhood. The first thing
infants do is suck (oral). Next, babies begin toilet training (anal), then discover the difference between
boys and girls (phallic). Next, children spend time growing physically and cognitively but are latent in the
psychosexual realm (not focusing on anything sexual); finally, puberty sets in and they begin to think
about sex again and are focused on their own genitals.



Jacob's father tells Jacob to clean his room. When Jacob asks why, his father responds,

"Because I said so." The father's response is most representative of which parenting style?

a. Uninvolved

b. Authoritarian

c. Authoritative

d. Permissive - ✔✔-B. The authoritarian parenting style uses coercive techniques and psychological
control to discipline children, whereas the authoritative parenting style emphasizes some control but
allows for some independence. The uninvolved parenting style rarely uses any control and the parent
seems to be indifferent to the child's level of independence. In the permissive parenting style, the
parents are typically overindulgent with the child. They exert very little control and are lenient when it
comes to granting independence to the child.



Harry Harlow used baby monkeys and several different kinds of "surrogate mothers" to

investigate which factors are important in early development and attachment. According to

his findings, baby monkeys:

a. preferred a soft terrycloth "mother" to a wire-mesh "mother" that held a bottle

b. preferred a wire-mesh "mother" that held a bottle to a soft terrycloth "mother"

c. showed no preference

d. preferred neither "mother" - ✔✔-A. In Harry Harlow's experiments, he found that baby monkeys
preferred physical comfort to hunger satisfaction. In other words, the baby monkeys wanted to be close
to a

soft terrycloth "mother" rather than a wire-mesh "mother," even though the latter presented food.
Therefore, attachment involves more than hunger satisfaction. It involves having close contact with a
"loving" caregiver.
