Answer:
Children engage in dialogues with other children and adults.
Explanation:
The social interaction is one of the reasons that children develop, according to dynamic system theory, because this allow them to develop and evolve new skills.
The opposite is a passive behaviour where children don't interact that much, don't have that social interaction.
Development, according to a dynamic systems perspective, is characterized by children's active reorganization of behavior in response to changes within interacting systems around them. So, option c is correct.
According to a dynamic systems perspective, development occurs when children actively reorganize their behavior following a change in some part of the system. This perspective recognizes that individual behavior and growth are influenced by interacting systems that are sensitive to changes and to time. Children are viewed as active participants in their development, constantly interacting with and adapting to their environments to achieve more complex levels of organization and function. Dynamic systems theory is in contrast with other development perspectives, such as those emphasizing modeling behaviors of adult mentors or the role of sensitive periods. Among the options provided, dynamic systems theory aligns most closely with children actively reorganizing their behaviors in response to changes in their environment.

In a social psychology experiment, one group of participants is reminded of a social stereotype they are likely to hold and another group is not reminded. All participants then interact with a member of the group to which the stereotype refers, and the nature of their interactions is recorded. What is/are the treatment(s) in this study?
Answer:
The reminded group receives the treatment and is the experimental group
Explanation:
In a psychological experiment, the experimental group is also known as the experimental condition, refers to a group of subjects or participants who are vulnerable or exposed to the independent variable. Also, these subjects or participants are exposed or receive the treatment variable. They receive the variable that is being tested one at a time. So, the experimental groups find an answer in the given experiment.
Kim has difficulty waiting in line at school. She wants to be first all of the time, and she will kick other students and scream if she is not at the front of the line. Her classmates get upset when they can’t go to an activity until she is quiet. Kim’s teacher creates a visual support for her that helps Kim understand lining up from the perspective of others. This visual support is referred to as a _____. social story multimedia mediation self-management strategy picture exchange communication system
Answer:
Social story
Explanation:
A social story is a tool used for the better understanding the aspects of interpersonal communication for people in the autism spectrum.
They are pictorial descriptions of a situation faced by people. Here, the social story would be describing what the other people are experiencing.
In its earlier stages social stories were made for high functioning people but later were modified to fit the needs of autistic people.
Jean wants her daughter to eat her vegetables so she is healthy. Jean tells her daughter that after she eats her vegetables she can play outside, which is one of her daughter’s favorite things to do. In this situation, Jean is using ________ to increase her daughter’s eating of vegetables.
Answer:
The Premack principle
Explanation:
Given by David Premack in 1965.
This principle is based on Operant Conditioning (reinforcement).
The Premack principle states that the chance of getting involved in more predictable activities or behaviors will reinforce less predictable activities or behaviors.
In the given eg. Jean is applying reinforcement, as he asked her daughter that she can play outside after eating fruits.
Final answer:
Jean is using positive reinforcement to increase her daughter's eating of vegetables. By promising the opportunity to play outside after eating vegetables, she provides a desirable reward for the behavior she wants to encourage.
Explanation:
Positive reinforcement is a concept from behavioral psychology that involves introducing a rewarding stimulus following a behavior, which makes it more likely that the behavior will be repeated. In this case, the reward is the opportunity to play outside, which is something her daughter already enjoys. Instead of imposing negative consequences for not eating vegetables or engaging in bribing with unrelated rewards like dessert, Jean is incorporating her daughter's natural preferences to gently nudge her towards healthier eating habits. This strategy also aligns with the principle of preparing balanced meals and actively involving children in choices related to their meals, without resorting to bribes. By ensuring the reward is contingent on the desired behavior - eating vegetables - Jean effectively encourages her daughter to develop better nutrition habits.
Tucker insists that he can't wear the new jeans his mom got for him because they look too new, and his classmates will make fun of them. After spending the evening making deliberate cuts in the fabric and fraying the edges, he declares that the jeans are now suitable to wear. Tucker's concerns illustrate _____.
1) new designs
2) old designs
Answer:
adolescent egocentrism
Explanation:
Adolescent egocentrism refers to the phenomenon where the adolescent is unable to distinguish the perception that they have of what other people think of them and what the other people actually think of them.
Here, Tucker thinks that if he would wear the new jeans then his classmates would make fun of them. This is what he believes what others would think of him. He does not actually know what his classmates would think of the new jeans in reality.
Tucker's concerns illustrate a preference for distressed or aged designs over pristine new ones, reflecting a cultural value where worn-looking clothing is seen as more acceptable or fashionable than new, unworn items. The option (1) is correct.
In many fashion circles, there's a perceived authenticity and character associated with clothing that appears worn or lived-in. This preference reflects broader societal values that prioritize a sense of history and individuality in personal style.
Distressed clothing can convey a laid-back, casual vibe that aligns with certain fashion trends and subcultures, suggesting a nonchalant attitude towards material possessions. It also signals a rejection of overly polished or manufactured appearances, embracing imperfections as part of personal expression.
While studying the impact of ginkgo biloba on memory, a researcher has one group of rats on a normal diet while the other rat group is given measured doses of ginkgo biloba with their meals. While observing the rats run a complicated maze, the researcher notes that the ginkgo biloba-enhanced rats’ maze is more brightly lit than the normal diet rats’ maze. The difference in lighting in this study is a(n)
A. confound.
B. dependent variable.
C. hypothesis.
D. independent variable.
Answer:
D. independent variable.
Explanation:
According to my research on different experimental terminology, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the difference in lighting in this study is an independent variable. This is because the focus of the study seems to be whether a certain diet affects the rats abilities and speed in finishing the maze. The results for this study do not depend on the lighting because rats can navigate in the dark just as fast as in the dark because of their whiskers.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

D. independent variable.
A graduate student wants to examine the effect of print media versus televised media on individuals' position on several social issues. The superintendent of a local work release facility, a family friend, will allow the graduate student access to the prison population to help her quickly accrue subjects. The student's IRB should:a. Approve this project since the risk appears to be no more than minimal.b. Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student.c. Approve this project since the superintendent is the ultimate authority on what happens in his facility.d. Approve this project but submit it for federal review.
Answer:
B. Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student.
Explanation:
Population of convenience refers to group of samples that is drawn from the population which is close /easy for the researchers. One big weakness of population of convenience is that the data given by this type of population tend to contain high level of bias.
From the sample above, The researchers has a connection to superintendent of a local work release facility , which happen to be the researcher's family friend.
This will create two problems for the research result:
1. the researcher will collect the data in a perceived position of power, because of the connection with the superintendent.
The prisoners that become the samples will most likely held themselves so they can give the data that the researcher wants from them.
2. If the prisoners are the only samples that the researcher get, it would be really biased since prisoners tend to have similar characteristics and do not represent the whole population.
An 89-year-old man has smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for more than 60 years and is in excellent health. A researcher does an in-depth study of this man in hopes of revealing universal principles related to the effects of smoking on health. However, the study may not provide useful results because the man is atypical. This illustrates a weakness of which method of descriptive research?
Answer:
Case study
Explanation:
A case study in psychology is defined as the use of a descriptive research approach to gain an in-depth investigation of a person or a group. There are various ways through which case studies can be conducted such as direct-observation, personal interviews, psychometric tests. Case studies are useful in getting detailed information about the person or a group. The chances of error are also high because the experimenter can provide biased information.

A researcher is conducting a study of students with special needs in a local school. The study requires the analysis of identifiable student performance data from the past five years. The study results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences and could potentially help thousands of young students. Which of the follow is true?
FERPA allows the school to make an exception for any students over 13 years of age
The researcher is eligible for a waiver of parental consent given the importance of the study to the field of education
The researcher is not eligible for a FERPA waiver because the data are too recent
FERPA prevents the school from providing the data because the researcher does not have prior consent of the parents
Answer:
FERPA prevents the school from providing the data because the researcher does not have prior consent of the parents
Explanation:
Consent is an integral part of all types of research because it is a matter of the person's privacy. Subjects have all the right to refuse from being a part of the research for any reason and researcher has to respect their decision. Otherwise, it will be considered unethical. When it comes to children, it is important to have prior consent of the parents as children themselves are usually unaware of what is happening around, especially, the children with special needs.

Explanation:
Which U.S. president drastically changed the Democratic Party's general economic policy of limited government by increasing the federal government's involvement in the economy to end the Great Depression?
President Franklin Roosevelt is the correct answer.
The Great Depression was a period of economic crisis that happened during the 1930s. The crisis started in the United States and rapidly became a worldwide economic depression. Unemployment, deflation, poverty, hunger and low profit were some of the problems faced by Americans during that time. Therefore, Franklin Roosevelt came up with a plan, known as 'The New Deal', to get millions of Americans back to work and also provide them with different types of assistance. In 1935, he also created the WPA (Works Progress Administration) which employed over 8 million Americans. However, these programs were still not sufficient to end the Great Depression. It was not until the World War II that they were able to fully recover.
Ramona is conducting research that examines the softest sound that the average human can hear from 20 feet away. This is most similar to the earlier research conducted by ________.
Answer:

When the time to make a decision is extremely limited, is group decision making or individual decision making the better approach?
A. Group decision making is the better approach.
B. Individual decision making is the better approach.
Answer:
A. Group decision making is the better approach.
Explanation:
Individual discussion is when only two peoples are doing discussion.
When there are many individuals taking part in the discussion and each person gets the opportunity to keep his view, then this type of discussion is called Group discussion.
Further Group discussion is less time taken as at the same time we can discuss things to many peoples.
Since here time is extremely limited for making the decision. So, Group discussion is better to approach.
Jean has an intense fear of alligators, including large stuffed alligators and often discusses the topic. She thinks that an alligator attacked her during a family picnic when she was young. Her mother recently found a video of her daughter’s fourth birthday picnic in the park in which her uncle held his gift, a large stuffed alligator, in front of his face and growled ferociously. This indicates that Jean’s memory of the alligator attack is likely ____.
Answer:
Confabulation
Explanation:
Confabulation is an error in memory that produces an altered memory in a person. This happens without the conscious knowledge of the person.
Here, even though Jean has never been attacked by an alligator she believes that she was. However, her uncle did scare her by putting an alligator in front of his face. This memory was somehow altered which makes her think that she was attacked by an alligator. Some of the causes of confabulation are Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Traumatic brain injury, Schizophrenia etc.
Homo naledi is a new species of the genus Homo that is similar to Homo erectus, yet contains unique-enough characteristics to warrant a separate species. This hominin was first discovered at the South African site Rising Star Cave in 2013. Identify the challenges faced by archaeologists working in Rising Star Cave.
Archaeologists working in Rising Star Cave faced challenges including difficult access due to narrow spaces, high volume of remains, unique traits of Homo naledi complicating classification, and ambiguity in interpreting how the bones ended up in the cave.
Explanation:The archaeological expedition that discovered Homo naledi in the Rising Star Cave faced a number of unique challenges. First, the extremely narrow passages and tight spaces in the cave system made accessing and excavating the site difficult. This type of excavation required the use of small, slender individuals who had to be specially trained in archaeological techniques.
Another challenge was the sheer volume of remains. Over 1,500 bones were recovered, all of which needed to be painstakingly catalogued and analysed. This process was further complicated by the unique characteristics of the Homo naledi specimens, which displayed a mosaic of traits associated with different hominin species, presenting a challenge in classification.
Finally, there was the question of interpretation. How the bones ended up in such a remote and difficult-to-access location was a mystery, and various theories ranging from death trap to deliberate burial have been suggested. However, the veracity of these theories is still being debated and studied.

When a person solves problems by utilizing his/her prior experience, as well as insight and coping ability/skills for new situations, Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence would suggest that person was demonstrating __________ intelligence.a) contextual b) experiential c) practical d) componential
Answer:
b) experiential
Explanation:
Contextual intelligence or Practical intelligence is the intelligence that allows us to apply what we have learnt to real world scenarios and situations.
Componential intelligence is the intelligence that is indicated by our Intelligence Quotient (IQ) score i.e., our innate abilty (aptitude).
Experiential intelligence is the intelligence that allows us to use our experience and use it in a new situation.

Psychologists studying infant memory want to determine at what age babies can remember specific events. An experimenter uses several puppets to demonstrate a series of actions while the infant watches. After a delay, the experimenter records how many of the actions the child imitates when playing with the puppets. What is the independent variable?
Answer:
The number of imitated action
Explanation:
The imitation is vitally important for child development in social skills, play, and language. We all when in childhood even in adulthood learn by imitating others' actions and thought. a child first learns to imitate movement rather than sound through speech. Even motor development also not related to language development. A child starts to learn such type of learning when he/she start to move their body parts. holding own hands, setting mobile, and exploring toys by putting in the mouth is an example of motor skills imitation. gestural imitation is there :

A) Highest and Best Use
B) The Law of Supply and Demand
C) Anticipation
D) Competition
Answer: B) The Law of Supply and Demand
Explanation:
The law of supply and demand is an economic theory that describes the relationship between those selling a specific good, and its buyers.
It states that there´s a correlation between availability, demand, and price of a product: when there are low supply and high demand, the price increases, and vice versa. Such is the case with the Western Acres properties.
Specialization and comparative advantage
A.lead to greater productivity.
B.lead to international trade and overall gains for the nations involved.
C.lead to greater output even if you can do everything better than someone else.
D.All of the above.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. All of the above.
Explanation:
A country, a region or even an individual person, achieve a greater economic result if they carry out economic activities that have comparative advantages.
This happens because if everyone specializes in a particular activity, they will surely obtain greater efficiency and productivity in carrying out that activity than if they did many activities without specializing in any particular one. If this activity also has comparative advantages, the individual result is optimal.
On the other hand, trade allows the exchange of goods and services produced by different agents in the market for a price that presents a benefit to both the buyer and the seller.
If this mechanism is free and fluid, it allows to obtain in sum a global optimum for the sum of the economic agents that participate in the market.
Clarifications:
A. Each individual makes an individual contribution to the increase in local, regional and national productivity.
B. Through international trade this impacts the overall profits of the nation.
The more you take advantage of comparative advantages, the more a nation will be in a position to offer benefits to other nations that would like to buy their products or services and the greater capacity they will have to buy products and services from other countries specialized in their own comparative advantages and a situation in the That everyone wins.
C. There are many individuals or nations that think they can be self-sufficient and do everything on their own, but empirical evidence has shown time and again that this stance has resulted in economic stagnation as a result of not taking advantage of their own benefit. and mutual the mechanism described above.
Even if we think we can do everything better than others, human, material and time resources will always be limited and we will have to choose what resources to use, what projects to carry out, etc. in the limited time that each one has.
Specialization and competition always run the limits of productivity because they incorporate the mechanism of innovation. In other words, whoever is at a disadvantage with respect to another will strive to improve in order to compete and not be left out of the market. In short, innovation is what allows increasing individual productivity and impacting the overall growth of the economy. Those who at the beginning did everything better, at some point will be surpassed by those who specialize in certain activities and achieve greater efficiency.

Because her coworker kept her eyes on her work and never said much, Laura concluded that Rita wasn't very smart. But when a new procedure was introduced on their floor and Laura made several errors, Rita showed her a simple way to remember each step. This is an example of
A. failing to take responsibility for her mistakes.
B. misjudging other people's abilities.
C. failing to listen to others.
D. having a low level of self-esteem.
Answer:
This is an example of b. misjudging other people's abilities.
Explanation:
There is no information in the problem that Laura failed to take responsibility for her mistakes. It simply states that she made several mistakes. Because Rita showed Laura how to remember each step, we can assume that she listened to her. There is no other information about Rita trying to talk about the work. In fact, one of the assumptions is that she was not smart because she did not say much. The option D does not apply in this case. It is about Laura's attitude towards Rita and a misconception associated to the fact that Rita did not speak much. Thus, b. is the correct answer.
