Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Memory is essential for cognitive development. Children cannot form schemas, demonstrate progression in circular reactions, or begin to use language without memory. The ability to experiment by applying what has been learned to new and specific situations (the ability to perform tertiary circular reactions), requires that the infant remember the action and what happened when that action was performed previously. The ability to form schemes in an effort to conceptualize the world is also very memory-dependent. A child cannot learn to differentiate a kitten from a puppy, for example, unless she can remember how they are similar and how they are different.
