Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The needs to know and to understand appear in late infancy and early childhood and are expressed by children as a natural curiosity. Because the needs are innate, they do not have to be taught, but the actions of parents and teachers can serve to inhibit a child's spontaneous curiosity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Maslow later proposed a second set of innate needs, the cognitive needsto know and to understand, which exist outside the hierarchy we have described. The need to know is stronger than the need to understand, and must therefore be at least partially satisfied before the need to understand can emerge.
