Answer to Question 1

Children during early childhood tend to think of themselves in concrete, external ways, such as whether they are male or female, tall or short, etc. As they reach middle childhood, they are more likely to consider themselves in internal, abstract ways, including their personality characteristics such as being kind or funny. They also think of themselves more in terms of group membership and how they are in social relationships.

Answer to Question 2

Nature has been shown to be involved since even when there is a lack of experience in motor activity, such as with Hopi infants who are strapped to boards for the first year of their lives who begin to walk around the same time as those who had experience with locomotion. Nurture has been shown to be important with the children in an Iranian orphanage with limited motor experience and significant retardation of their motor development.
