Question 1 - True or False
1.1. Nature and nurture influence development in the same way for all children.
False - Nature and nurture do not have a uniform effect on all children. While both biological
and environmental factors play a role in development, their impact can vary greatly among
individuals. For example, children may experience different rates or types of development
based on individual genetics and the specific environments in which they grow up (CAD1501,
Study Guide, p.1).
1.2. Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy refers to a person’s belief in their ability to succeed in
specific situations.
True - Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their capacity to
succeed in particular situations or accomplish specific tasks. This belief influences how people
approach challenges and goals (CAD1501, Study Guide, p.10).
1.3. According to Gardner, a learner who enjoys drawing and organising visually is considered
“picture-smart.”
True - According to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, a learner who enjoys
drawing and organizing things visually is classified as "picture-smart" or having high
visual-spatial intelligence (CAD1501, Study Guide, p.3).
1.4. Bandura believed that learning occurs only through direct experience.
False - Bandura did not believe that learning only happens through direct experience. He
argued that people can also learn through observation and imitation of others, which is known
as social cognitive learning (CAD1501, Study Guide, p.9).
1.5. Nature refers to the cultural environment in which a child grows up.
False - Nature refers to the biological characteristics inherited from parents, not the cultural
environment. The cultural environment is considered part of nurture, which influences
development through social and environmental factors (CAD1501, Study Guide, p.1).
