model? - Answer structural
1.6 Physiological ________________ is a qualitative advance in biological makeup that often
makes it difficult to tell the differences in individuals from observation alone. - Answer
maturation
1.7 Research participants are asked to throw darts to a target to measure accuracy. The
participants throw from three distances: 5 feet, 10 feet, and 15 feet. The distance of the throw
is an example of what kind of constraint? - Answer task
