Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The preschool-age child has not developed conservation or the ability to discern truth, even though physical properties change. This is why the child will think that there is less medicine in the shorter container. The preschool-age child will not interpret this action as the glass changing shape or it is painful to pour medicine. An older child will understand that the appearance of the medication changed but not the amount.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The developmental task of the toddler is to learn autonomy versus shame or doubt. Autonomy comes from the toddler's new motor and mental abilities. Children take pride in the new things they can accomplish, and they want to do everything independently. Pulling a talking duck toy will support the development of autonomy. Doing things such as feeding, reading, and watching television does not foster autonomy in the toddler.
