Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All outcomes might be good starts, but an outcome needs to be measurable, be specific, and have a timeframe. The outcome that best fits this description is the one that has a specific age-appropriate activity associated with it. Attain age-appropriate milestones, attain normal weight and height, and fewer tantrums are all vague.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Vygotsky posited that learning takes place in a zone of proximal development, which means that children learn best when assisted by another person. He also thought culture had a profound impact on language. Howard Gardner argued that intelligence cannot be measured by a single number from an IQ test. The ecological theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner emphasized three systems in a child's life (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem). The preoperational stage is part of Jean Piaget's work.
