Which one of the following statements best reflects Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence? Options: To be truly intelligent, one must show competence in creativity and social skills as well as in traditional academic tasks. Intelligence is due to heredity, environment, and a complex interaction between the two; ultimately, researchers can never disentangle the effects of these factors. Intelligent behavior evolves in three stages: concrete thought, abstract thought, and automatization.

Intelligent behavior is a function of how well people draw on prior experiences and cognitively process information in order to adapt to a new situation.

Which one of the following conditions is most likely to help children learn from a discovery learning activity? - Making sure children always remain in equilibrium - Having some prior knowledge about the material being explored - Having an abstract overview of the discovery session ahead of time - Having freedom to explore one's environment without any structure or restraint

Which one of the following statements best describes a nativist perspective of child development? Children actively construct their own view of the world from their experiences with the environment. Children are naturally disposed to think about their environment in particular ways; in a sense, some basic knowledge about the world is "pre-wired." Initially, children unconsciously develop a rather complex and confused view of the world, but this view becomes simpler and more straightforward as time goes on. Children repeatedly parrot their parents' and teachers' beliefs, eventually adopting these beliefs as their own "knowledge."

Options: Making sure that children have acquired most of the characteristics of Piaget's formal operations stage before they begin to solve problems, Teaching tricks such as "When you see the word less in a problem, you should subtract", Making sure that children know why procedures work as well as how to use them, Having children practice procedures in isolation before applying them to real-life situations

Making sure that children know why procedures work as well as how to use them

Which one of the following statements is most accurate about a typical 5-year-old child's understanding of numbers and/or counting? Options: Most 5-year-olds do not yet know that a group of objects has the same number of objects regardless of the order in which the objects are counted. Most 5-year-olds can neither add nor subtract because they have not yet been taught addition and subtraction in school. Most 5-year-olds have already had enough experience adding and subtracting objects in their own lives that further work with concrete objects isn't necessary. Most 5-year-olds know that when you count a group of objects, you should count each object in the group once and only once.

Most 5-year-olds know that when you count a group of objects, you should count each object in the group once and only once.

Three of the following statements about the effects of heredity and/or environment on intelligence are accurate. Which one is not accurate? Some toxic substances in children's homes or neighborhoods can adversely affect their cognitive development. Children tend to get higher IQ scores when they attend school regularly. Biologists working in the Human Genome Project have recently identified the chromosome that carries the "intelligence" gene. On average, children's performance on intelligence tests has risen around the world, suggesting that improvements in environmental conditions enhance IQ.

Biologists working in the Human Genome Project have recently identified the chromosome that carries the "intelligence" gene.

One of the primary reasons that researchers have concerns about the use of intelligence tests to predict children's academic achievement is that:

Intelligence is not a one-dimensional characteristic that one test can adequately measure

With the help of three teacher aides, a kindergarten teacher gives her students a school readiness test on the first day of class. Given what we know about such tests, which one of the following is the best thing to do with the test results? Options: Suggest to the principal that low-scoring children be placed in a more intensive "pre-kindergarten" class; these children would then return to kindergarten the following year. Enroll all children in kindergarten and use the results to form tentative hypotheses about where it would be best to begin instruction for each child. Suggest to the principal that high-scoring children be placed in first grade. Meet with the parents of low-scoring children to ask them to consider placing their children in preschool or Head Start for the year.
