Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Some of the changes in the ability to learn through observation and conditioning improve quantitatively; the infant gradually becomes better able to retain, recall, and use what he has learned over longer delays. Some of the changes in learning, such as newborn imitation, change qualitatively: infants can express this ability very early in life but then pass through a developmental stage at a few months of age when they cannot imitate and finally reach another stage of development when imitation seems to take a different form and they again can imitate facial expressions. Another basic example of qualitative change in infancy is the change from expressing newborn reflexes to the loss of these reflexes across the first year of life.
