Carmen has a dog at home and so is familiar with what a

dog is. She sees a bear for the first time and says “Doggie!”

Her sister says “No, that’s a bear”, and Carmen now has

separate schemas for dogs and bears. What process is

being described here?

• Accommodation

• Assimilation

• Attribution

• Equilibration

When Juan plays hide-and-seek, he “hides” by covering his

eyes, because he believes that if he can’t see someone else,

they must not be able to see him either. The best term to

describe this is:

• Animism

• Centration

• Egocentrism

• Conservation

During Piaget’s preoperational stage, the primary skill

obtained by the child is:

• Understand others’ perspectives and use language and

  mental imagery to internally experience the world

• Experience the world through senses like tasting and

  hearing

• Think systematically and reason about abstract

  concepts like ethics

• Think logically and perform operations on real-world

  objects and concepts

During Piaget’s concrete operational stage, the primary skill

obtained by the child is:

• Conservation

• Abstract logic

• Object permanence

• Accomodation

Dio accidentally put his thumb inside his mouth and started

sucking it. The next day, he repeated it again because he

• primary circular reaction

• secondary circular reaction

• simple reflexes

This is the substage of sensorimotor characterized by

trial-and-error and the experimentation of behaviors among

infants.

• primary circular reaction

• secondary circular reaction

• tertiary circular reaction

• coordination of secondary circular reaction
