Question 1
Professor Garrett tells his class, "Children's cognition develops continuously and gradually. There are no abrupt changes in thought. There are no distinct stages of cognitive development." Professor Garrett sounds most like
◦ an information-processing theorist.
◦ Piaget.
◦ Kohlberg.
◦ a psychodynamic theorist.
Question 2
Renee Baillargeon studied object permanence by showing infants
possible events and
impossible events. In the
possible event, a screen rotated until it made contact with a box, at which point it began rotating backwards. In the
impossible event, when the rotating screen reached the box, it continued to rotate, the box appeared to disappear, and the box reappeared after the screen rotated past it. She found that 4 ½-month-old infants looked
◦ longer at the impossible event than the possible event, suggesting they understood object permanence.
◦ longer at the possible event than the impossible event, suggesting they understood object permanence.
◦ at both events equally, suggesting they understood object permanence.
◦ at both events equally, suggesting they did not understand the concept of object permanence.
