Chapter 1 Learning Outcome Quizzes
Learning Outcome 1.1: Define early childhood development and explain how qualitative development
is different from quantitative development.
[Q1]
According to the textbook, which of the following statements best defines early childhood
development?
1. The increase in knowledge and number of skills of young children over the first 5 years of life
2. The process of qualitative and quantitative changes in children from birth to age 8 [correct]
3. The increase in sensorimotor intelligence between ages 3 and 9
4. The fixed order of acquiring skills and knowledge at each age from birth to age 7
[Feedback for Answer Choice 1]
This statement suggests that children simply acquire greater knowledge and abilities as they age—a purely
quantitative view—and does not address qualitative changes. Also, early childhood is defined as birth to
age 8 in the book.
[Feedback for Correct Answer 2]
Children do not simply become larger or obtain more knowledge as they develop. As they develop, they
become qualitatively different people, thinking and behaving in uniquely different ways.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 3]
This statement addresses only one kind of intelligence that occurs in infancy. It does not include other
domains, such as physical or social development, or types of thinking that appear after infancy.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
This statement suggests that all children will acquire skills or knowledge in a fixed order, which is not
always the case.
[Q2]
Which of the following is the best example of a child becoming a qualitatively, not just quantitatively, different
person with development?
1. A child overcomes fears by having a deeper understanding of the world. [correct]
2. A child acquires more mathematical skills and concepts.
3. A child forms a wider network of friendships and acquaintances.

frightening; the child can now interpret and apply his or her knowledge to overcome these fears.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]

skills or knowledge. It does not recognize that children think and solve problems completely differently. They
can apply and refine skills and knowledge in new ways as they develop.

This answer is focused on quantitative changes in development—simply making more friends and
acquaintances. It does not address how the nature of friendships or the child’s knowledge or social
behaviors change with development.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
This answer suggests that attachment to caregivers is simply the process of becoming attached to more
