Question 5

Use the following to answer questions :
Scenario II
The scenario is based on and presents results consistent with the following studies:
Gopnik,A. ,& Astington,J.W.(1988).Children's understanding of representative change and its relation to the understanding of false belief and the appearance-reality distinction.Child Development,59,26-37.
Wimmer,H. ,& Perner,J.(1983).Beliefs about beliefs: Representation and constraining function of wrong beliefs in young children's understanding of deception.Cognition,13(1),103-128.
Wimmer and Perner (1983)first developed a procedure to assess if children have developed a theory of mind.Children were read an illustrated story in which a puppet named Maxi hid a piece of chocolate in one cupboard and then left the room.While Maxi was away,a second puppet entered the room,discovered the chocolate,and hid it in a new location before leaving.The story ended with Maxi's return.Children were asked where Maxi will look for the chocolate.Whereas most 5-year-olds who have developed a theory of mind will report that he will look in the cupboard,most 3-year-olds will report that Maxi will look in the new location.
Using a different procedure,Gopnik and Astington (1988)first arranged a control condition in which children were shown a dollhouse.Inside the dollhouse was an apple.In the presence of the children,the experimenter opened the dollhouse and replaced the apple with a doll.A few minutes later,the children were asked what was currently in the dollhouse and what had previously been in the dollhouse.Only children who answered these questions correctly progressed to the experimental condition.Here,the experimenter showed children a candy box.When they opened it,the children discovered that it contained pencils.When the children were asked what they originally thought was in the box,most 5-year-olds said candy and most 3-year-olds said pencils.
-(Scenario II)The fact that 3-year olds in the Gopnik and Astington (1988)study responded accurately in the control condition but inaccurately in the experimental condition:

Accepted Answer

A) results in only partial support for Wimmer and Perner's (1983)original findings. 
B) demonstrates that minor procedural details can affect whether children demonstrate a theory of mind. 
C) illustrates the distinction between beliefs about the world and beliefs about beliefs. 
D) illustrates the distinction between concrete and formal operations. 
A) results in only partial support for Wimmer and Perner's (1983)original findings.

 B)False

Question 11

Use the following to answer questions :
Scenario I
The scenario is based on and presents results consistent with the following study:
Kim,I.K. ,& Spelke,E.S.(1992).Infants' sensitivity to effects of gravity on visual object motion.Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance,18(2),385-393.
Kim and Spelke (1992)investigated the extent to which infants have expectancies of gravitational effects on visual object motion.Infants of 3 and 5 months of age repeatedly watched a video of a ball accelerating as it rolled down an incline until they spent little time actively looking at it.Subsequently,two types of test trials were conducted in randomized order.Type A test trials consisted of a ball slowing down as it rolled up an incline.Type B test trials consisted of a ball slowing down as it rolled down an incline.During all trials,the amount of time looking at each visual display was recorded.Fabricated data consistent with the major finding of this study are presented in Figure 11.1.
Figure 11.1   Note that "Age 5" and "Age 3" in the legend refer to months of age.
-(Scenario I)Which explanation is MOST likely for the decreased looking time across training trials?

A) Both groups of infants failed to acquire gravitational expectancies. 
B) The video lost its novelty. 
C) Both groups of infants acquired object permanence with respect to the ball. 
D) The experimenters failed to arrange effective rewards for looking behaviour.
