Question 1

Interactional synchrony is like an &#34;emotional dance&#34; between a caregiver and a child,sending important signals and sharing emotions.What does this &#34;emotional dance&#34; form for the child?&#10;A)a physical foundation for trust&#10;B)positive experiences that stabilize brain connections&#10;C)a basis for attachment&#10;D)All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

Interactional synchrony involves the mutual, rhythmic, and patterned interactions between caregiver and child, which are crucial for emotional and social development. It forms a physical foundation for trust as the child learns to rely on the caregiver's responses, stabilizes brain connections through positive experiences, and serves as a basis for attachment by building a strong emotional bond.

Question 2

A toddler's brain is more active than an adult's brain.

Accepted Answer

A toddler's brain is more active than an adult's brain because it is rapidly growing and forming new neural connections at a much higher rate, facilitating learning and development.

Question 3

All of the following are important suggestions to assist caregivers in supporting a parent with a toddler suffering from separation anxiety except&#10;A)reassure the parent that you understand it is hard to leave.&#10;B)remind the parent that immediate departure of the parent is best for the child once goodbyes have been said.&#10;C)support the child in his or her sadness.&#10;D)distract the child with an activity so he or she won't feel sad.

Accepted Answer

Distracting the child to prevent them from feeling sad does not address the root cause of separation anxiety and can undermine the child's opportunity to learn and cope with their emotions. It's more beneficial to support the child through their feelings rather than trying to bypass them.

Question 4

The first noticeable slowing of brain activity happens during _____.&#10;A)the end of infancy&#10;B)the beginning of formal schooling&#10;C)adolescence&#10;D)old age

Accepted Answer

Adolescence marks a period of significant brain development, but it's also the stage where the first noticeable slowing of brain activity can be observed, particularly in areas related to impulsivity and risk-taking.

Question 5

What is early intervention?&#10;A)identifying young children with disabilities&#10;B)identifying young children &#34;at risk&#34; for developing disabilities&#10;C)creating a plan for supports so that children with disabilities can achieve their full potential&#10;D)All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

Early intervention encompasses identifying young children with disabilities or those at risk for developing disabilities and creating a plan for supports to help these children achieve their full potential.

Question 6

Specialized nerve cells are called _____.&#10;A)neurons&#10;B)synapses&#10;C)axons&#10;D)None of the answers is correct.

Accepted Answer

Neurons are the specialized nerve cells responsible for transmitting information throughout the body via electrical and chemical signals.

Question 7

The pathways in the brain that form the physical foundation of trust are caused by what behavior?&#10;A)touching&#10;B)fondling&#10;C)feeding&#10;D)All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

All of the mentioned behaviors can contribute to the formation of trust pathways in the brain. Touching, fondling, and feeding are actions that can promote bonding and trust, especially in early developmental stages or in close relationships. These behaviors can stimulate the release of oxytocin, a hormone associated with bonding and trust.

Question 8

Attachment between a parent and a child is the same as the attachment between a child and a caregiver.

Accepted Answer

Attachment between a parent and a child can differ from the attachment between a child and a caregiver because the quality and depth of attachment can vary depending on the consistency, responsiveness, and emotional connection provided by the parent or caregiver.

Question 9

The major benefit of early intervention is that young children with disabilities can be identified early in their development and can be taken out of mainstream schooling.

Accepted Answer

The major benefit of early intervention is to provide support and services to young children with disabilities within their development, often aiming to keep them in mainstream schooling and help them reach their full potential, rather than taking them out of it.
