Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Janelle's change in perspective from believing her stuffed bunny was real to recognizing it as a non-living object represents a qualitative change in her development. It involves a fundamental shift in her understanding and perception of the world around her, rather than simply adding more knowledge or skills (quantitative change) or building upon existing knowledge or skills (continuous change). Additionally, this shift occurs at a specific point in Janelle's development and represents a distinct stage or phase (discontinuous change).
