A researcher believes that as young children start to understand how solid objects collide with one another and cause movement, this understanding is largely guided by intuitions about physical mechanics that are present in infancy.This illustrates ________ constraints.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foundational constraints refer to basic or fundamental constraints that underlie cognitive abilities, such as the understanding of physical mechanics that is present in infancy and guides young children's understanding of collisions and movement. Emergent constraints refer to constraints that emerge in response to specific experiences or contexts, while global and local constraints refer to constraints that affect broader or more specific cognitive processes, respectively. None of these other options seem to fit the scenario described in the question.
