Answer to Question 1

Compared to normal and early-maturing girls, late-maturing girls are likely to have a stronger self-concept and be more popular with peers.

Answer to Question 2

Backward fading is an instructional technique to help students improve their ability to solve multistep problems. The procedure starts with the teacher providing to students a completely worked out solution to a multiple-step problem. Then she gives them a similar problem in which all of the steps are worked out except for the last one, which the students must solve themselves. Then she gives them another similar problem in which the last and next-to-last steps must be solved by the students. This process continues until students are given a similar problem in which none of the steps are worked out. A teacher would use this method because it produces better results than just giving students worked examples or practice.
