Recall that Bridgeman (1981) conducted an experiment with ten-year-old children, half of whom had previously had two months' experience in a jigsaw classroom.
 
  In this experiment, she showed the youngsters a cartoon in which a little boy waves goodbye to his father at the airport, receives a package from the postman, and bursts into tears upon finding out that it contains a toy plane. Children who had previously participated in the jigsaw classrooms were more likely to say that the postman would be confused at seeing the boy cry after receiving a present. This reflects the idea that jigsaw groups promote the development of
  a. spatial skills.
  b. self-esteem.
  c. perspective-taking.
  d. intelligence.

Question 2

Researchers state that one reason the jigsaw classroom is effective is that it allows the individual to develop a category of oneness. By this he means that
 
  a. everyone, without exception, is seen as part of a single group.
  b. the individual sees himself as an individual separate from the group.
  c. in-groups are seen as superior to out-groups, bolstering self-esteem.
  d. out-groups are seen as a single, homogeneous unit separate from the in-group.
