Rationale 2: Havighurst, in his developmental task theory, described growth and development occurring during six stages, each associated with 6 to 10 tasks to be learned.
Rationale 3: Psychosocial theory is focused on the development of personality, not physical development.
Rationale 4: The maturational theory (Arnold Gesell) postulates that child development is a maturational process based on an in-born timetable. Although children benefit from experience, they will achieve maturational milestones such as rolling over, sitting, and walking at specific times.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
