Answer to Question 1

Students' creation of this scene should note variations in a particular behavior (filling a
shovel, pail, or sneakers with sand; digging with a shovel, fingers, and a stick);
experimentation; trial and error; and pretending.

Answer to Question 2

Infant memory is fairly simple. Repeated experiences are more likely to be
remembered than one-time experiences. This is seen in language learning as well as
learning new behaviors. If a child is seeing a dog for the first time, it is important that
parents repeat the word dog or doggie several times and allow time for the child to
attempt repetition or at least to notice the use of the word in reference to the dog.
When teaching a new activity, such as how to play with a new toy, several
demonstrations will probably be necessary before the child remembers the sequence
of activities.
