Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of deferred imitation, where Carol has observed and then imitated her mother's hair brushing behavior after a delay. Concept formation refers to the process of forming mental categories to organize information. Centration refers to the tendency to focus on one aspect of a situation and ignore others, and perceptual organization refers to the process of grouping sensory information into meaningful patterns. None of these concepts apply to the scenario described.
