Question 1

Constructive play:

Accepted Answer

Constructive play combines sensorimotor/practice play with symbolic representation, where children use objects to represent different things and scenarios. This type of play helps develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and imagination.

Question 2

Which statement best summarizes Daniel Berlyne's views about children's play?

Accepted Answer

In his research, Berlyne emphasizes that play benefits children's cognitive development and satisfies their natural curiosity about the world. He suggests that play allows children to explore, learn and experiment in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Question 3

From whose theory of cognitive development was the concept of sensorimotor play derived?

Accepted Answer

The concept of sensorimotor play was derived from Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. According to Piaget, children learn through their senses and motor actions in the early stages of development, which is known as the sensorimotor stage. During this stage, children engage in sensorimotor play, which involves exploring and experimenting with objects and their environment through actions such as touching, grasping, and mouthing. This helps children develop their cognitive abilities and refine their motor skills.

Question 4

Question 7

Dante is encouraged by his parents to control himself and delay gratification.His parents give him some say in the rules of the house and are more likely to talk to him when he makes a mistake than to use physical discipline.His parents are most likely:

Accepted Answer

Parents who encourage delayed gratification and use non-physical discipline tend to have higher socioeconomic status and education levels. This parenting style is often referred to as authoritative, which is characterized by setting clear rules and boundaries but also allowing for some autonomy and open communication with their children. There is no indication in the scenario that the parents are Latino or divorced but coparenting, and authoritarian parenting is not consistent with the described parenting style.

Question 8

Social class differences in parenting behaviors have been found in the United States and most Western cultures.Lower socioeconomic status parents are more likely to __________ than middle-class parents.

Accepted Answer

Lower socioeconomic status parents are more likely to use physical discipline than middle-class parents. Studies have shown that this is due to a number of factors, including lower levels of education and higher levels of stress and frustration. Middle-class parents are more likely to use reasoning and verbal praise as parenting strategies.

Question 9

What does a child get from peers that he or she typically cannot get from siblings?

Accepted Answer

Peers provide a child with a sense of comparison with others of the same age, which siblings, who may be of different ages, cannot typically provide.

Question 10

Overall,the effects of television on children's development are:

Accepted Answer

While excessive television watching can have negative effects on children's development, such as decreased physical activity and impaired social skills, there are also positive effects such as increased knowledge and exposure to diverse perspectives. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the effects of television on children's development are both positive and negative.

Question 13

When a 2-year-old pretends to "eat" a book and uses this type of play as a funny way to explore ideas,this play is referred to as:

Accepted Answer

This type of play, where the child is using an object (book) to represent something else (food), is symbolic play. This demonstrates the child's understanding of symbols and their ability to use their imagination to explore ideas. This type of play is important for cognitive and social-emotional development.

Question 14

Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky considered play to be valuable because:

Accepted Answer

According to both Piaget and Vygotsky, play promotes cognitive development in children. Through play, children develop and practice cognitive skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and imagination. Play also helps children engage in social interactions, which further supports their cognitive and social development. The other answer choices, while potentially beneficial effects of play, do not capture the main reason why Piaget and Vygotsky considered play to be valuable.

Question 15

Which type of play is most common among 10- to 12-year-olds?

Accepted Answer

By 10-12 years of age, children are more likely to engage in organized games and structured play activities with rules and clear objectives. They also tend to have a better understanding of rules and fair play, making competitive games more enjoyable. Therefore, games are the most common type of play among this age group.

Question 16

Using props,plots,and roles in play is characteristic of:

Accepted Answer

Props, plots, and roles are commonly used in pretend play, also known as symbolic play or imaginative play. This type of play allows children to use their imagination, creativity, and social skills to act out different scenarios and explore different roles. Associative play focuses on social interaction without a specific theme or goal, while constructive play involves building and creating with materials. Sensorimotor/practice play involves exploration and repetition of physical actions.

Question 17

Children who grew up in gay and lesbian families usually self-identify themselves as:

Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that children raised by same-sex parents are no more likely to be homosexual themselves than children raised by opposite-sex parents. Studies have also found no significant differences in gender identity, gender role behavior, or psychological well-being between children raised by same-sex or opposite-sex parents. Therefore, it is most accurate to say that children who grew up in gay and lesbian families usually self-identify as heterosexual, just like children raised by opposite-sex parents.

Question 18

In general in the United States,African American and Latino family orientations differ from White family orientations in that:

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that African American and Latino families tend to place a greater emphasis on extended family relationships and support networks compared to white families. This may be due to cultural values that prioritize family interconnectedness and collective responsibility, as well as historical factors such as the legacy of slavery and immigration patterns that led to the formation of tight-knit ethnic communities. However, it is important to note that there is diversity within and across racial/ethnic groups, and not all families conform to these generalizations.

Question 19

Which of the following is NOT one of the types of play identified by Mildred Parten?

Accepted Answer

Mildred Parten identified the types of play as solitary play, parallel play, onlooker play, associative play, and cooperative play. "Practice play" is not a recognized type according to her model.

Question 20

Compared to lower socioeconomic status (SES)parents,higher SES parents are more likely to:

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that higher SES parents tend to emphasize the value of delaying gratification, emphasizing achievement, and the importance of education. They are also more likely to provide their children with resources that support these values, such as books, educational toys, and extracurricular activities. Lower SES parents, on the other hand, may be more likely to use physical punishment, criticize their children, and emphasize adherence to authority as means of discipline.
