Naturalistic observation does not require verbal instructions and, therefore, can be used to study the behaviour of infants and toddlers. Pat has developed a test to measure aggression. Pat gives the test to her developmental psychology class at the beginning of the term and again at the end of the term. Much to Pat's dismay, the results obtained at the end of the semester are completely diff erent from those obtained at the start. What is a likely explanation for the difference in results? The test is not reliable Under what circumstances would a natural (or quasi -) experiment be most useful? when strict random assignment cannot be used for ethical reasons Sometimes to best answer a research question, the investigator would have to ask children to participate in a potentially harmful situation. In this situation, what would ethical guidelines suggest? Other means of obtaining the information should be found or the research abandoned. Nancy is a developmentalist and she tells her friend that she believes it is important to study children in laboratory settings. She further states that there is no need to study the child's social relationships. Are Nancy's views consistent with the holis tic view of development? They are not consistent with the holistic perspective. How can the research goal of description be summarized? as What What is one of the main disadvantages of using the case study method?

What does Dr. Lauterbach's prediction exemplify? a hypothesis What is the name of an objective and replicable procedure to gather data for the purpose of testing a theory or hypothesis? scientific method What is a measure said to be if it accurately measures what it is designed to measure? valid Researchers studying the effects of alcohol consumption assessed the physical coordination skills of 21 -
