Question 1
Which of the following could be an example of a primary circular reaction?
◦ an infant wiggling his arms and legs back and forth
◦ an infant crying when she is placed down in her crib
◦ an infant batting at her father's glasses
◦ an infant banging a spoon against a pot
Question 2
Based on research on infant memory, the best strategy for a childcare provider to use to help a young infant remember her after a week-long vacation is to:
◦ use the child's name frequently prior to the vacation. Even at this age, an infant's memory is enhanced by verbal labels.
◦ help the infant create a spatiotemporal map in which features of the environment - the decorations, spatial arrangement, and the people in it - remain the same before and after the vacation.
◦ wait for the child to mature. Infants of this age cannot recall people - except for primary caregivers - for longer than two days.
◦ use a lot of language with the infant just before the vacation. Infants rely on auditory cues in memory more than visual ones.
