Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Before the proprium begins to emerge, the infant experiences no self-consciousness, no awareness of self. There is not yet a separation of me from everything else. Infants receive sensory impressions from the external environment and react to them automatically and reflexively, with no ego to mediate between stimulus and response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: According to the principle of mastery and competence, healthy, mature adults are motivated to perform better and more efficiently, to master new skills, and to increase their degree of competence. However, Allport noted that not all behaviors and motives could be explained by the principles of functional autonomy. Some behaviors, such as reflexes, fixations, neuroses, and behaviors arising from biological drives, are not under the control of functionally autonomous motives.
