Passive Correlation
Active Correlation
Reactive Correlation
Non-Shared Environmental Influence
Siblings grow up in the same household but develop distinct personalities. What does this illustrate?
Shared environmental experiences
Epigenetic inheritance
Nonshared environmental experiences
Hereditary influences
A pregnant woman experiences high stress levels, which later influence the temperament of her newborn. What concept explains this?

Chromosomal abnormalities
Passive Correlation
How does the epigenetic view describe the relationship between heredity and environment?
Heredity solely determines development
Environment modifies heredity irreversibly
Genetics and environment work independently
Development results from a bidirectional interchange

A 3-month-old infant repeatedly sucks their thumb after discovering it brings them pleasure. According to Piaget, this behavior is an example of which substage?
Use of Reflex
Primary Circular Reactions
Secondary Circular Reactions
Tertiary Circular Reactions
At 6 months, an infant shakes a rattle to hear its sound repeatedly, showing increased interest in their surroundings. What substage does this behavior represent?
Coordination of Secondary Schemes

Primary Circular Reactions
Tertiary Circular Reactions
An 11-month-old pushes aside a barrier to crawl and grab a toy they want. This goal-directed behavior represents which substage of Piaget’s sensorimotor stage?
Coordination of Secondary Schemes
Tertiary Circular Reactions
Secondary Circular Reactions
Use of Reflexes
A toddler at 16 months deliberately varies their actions, such as banging different objects to hear distinct sounds. What sensorimotor substage is this?
Use of Reflex
Primary Circular Reactions
Secondary Circular Reactions
Tertiary Circular Reactions
An infant performs a specific behavior only when prompted by the original cue (e.g., playing with a toy when it reappears). What is this phenomenon called?
Context-dependent memory
Infantile amnesia
Cue-dependent memory
Sensory adaptation
What explanation does Freud give for infantile amnesia, or the inability to remember events before 2 years old?
Immature brain development
Repression of emotionally troubling memories
Overreliance on motor-based schemes

A child generalizes from specific cases, like observing more roses than lilies to conclude there are more roses overall.
Deductive reasoning
Transitive inference
Inductive reasoning
Reversibility
What reasoning involves starting with a general principle, such as “All roses are flowers,” and concluding a specific example like, “This rose is a flower”?
