Answer to Question 1

Cognitive theories focus on how children think and how they understand their world.
The focus of childhood development is not centered on personality development, but rather focuses on children's thinking and reasoning. For instance, a 4 -year-old will comprehend and reason about his parent's divorce differently than his 10-year-old brother; a 10-year-old will comprehend and reason about his parent's divorce differently than his 15-year-old sister.

Answer to Question 2

C

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
