Studies that applied Piaget's theory were done on primates, and the findings include all of the following except
a. Monkeys and apes go through the same sensorimotor stages in the same order as humans.
b. Some species go through the stages faster than humans do.
c. The highest level of achievement is attained by species that are genetically closest to humans.
d. There is more evenness in monkeys' and apes' sensorimotor accomplishments than in humans'.
Question 2
What is the most substantial limitation in applying Piaget's theory to nonhuman animals?
a. Most of Piaget's stages involve mental representation, which may be unique to humans.
b. Piaget's tasks cannot be performed by animals because their hands are not dexterous enough.
c. Animals are not able to answer the questions necessary for the analysis of Piaget's tasks.
d. Animals generally develop much more quickly than humans do, and do not go through stages.
Organisms exhibit a diversity of behaviours, which include (clockwise from upper left), foraging and

Gorillas are the largest living primates.
Apidium may be ancestral to all later higher primates and is reconstructed as looking like a small-b
