Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary, but a clear understanding of the ethical issues regarding children
in research should be addressed. Answers must be based in academic
understanding and critical thinking.

Answer to Question 2

Recent research on mirror neurons has found neural activity that mirrors not only
the movement but also the intentions, sensations, and emotions of those around us.
This implies that Cassie may reflect her friend's pain by crying and/or exhibiting
facial expressions associated with distress. Cassie may also mirror the teacher's
behavior by running toward Sara.
