PY 101 exam 2
what are the proper order of the states of motor development? - correct
answer ✔lifting head, bear weight sitting upright, roll over, sit with no support,
stand while holding on, stand alone, walk well
what are the stages of cognitive development described by Piaget and what
order do they develop? - correct answer ✔sensory motor, preoperational,
concrete operational, and formal operational
object permanence - correct answer ✔the concept that objects continue to
exist even if we no longer perceive them
Egocentrism - correct answer ✔in the preoperational stage, children are
actively engaged in building their minds. they sometimes fail to understand the
the world appears differently to different people
conservation (volume, mass, number) - correct answer ✔the physical laws
that volume and mass of objects are conserved no matter how they might be
rearranged (glass example)
attachment - correct answer ✔children will often show a negative response
towards unfamiliar people
strange situation test - correct answer ✔a test of attachment as revealed by
a child's reaction to a temporary separation from the caregiver.

disorganized
, what are the stages of moral reasoning described by kohlberg and what order
do they develop - correct answer ✔preconventional, conventional, post
conventional
process of transduction. in general, what are the physical stimuli for each
sensory system - correct answer ✔
absolute threshold - correct answer ✔minimum stimulus intensity that can be
detected 50% of the time
difference threshold - correct answer ✔just noticeable difference (smallest
change in stimulus intensity that can be detected)
touch receptors - correct answer ✔provide information about different types
of stimulation
structure of the eye. what structures help focus the image on the retina -
correct answer ✔cornea, lens, retina. the bending of light by the cornea and
the lens work to focus an image onto the retina
what is the retina - correct answer ✔the surface at the back of the eye where
the image from the lens and cornea is focused
photoreceptors - correct answer ✔light-sensitive receptor cells in the retina
rods - correct answer ✔a class of photoreceptors in the retina that can detect
very low levels of light
