Q.51
Easy
Vygotsky's Theory
Lev Vygotsky's concept of 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) refers to:
Correct Answer:
B. The gap between what a child can do alone and what they can do with adult guidance
EXPLANATION
ZPD is the difference between a child's independent problem-solving ability and their ability to solve problems with guidance from a more skilled person. This concept emphasizes the importance of scaffolding in learning.
Q.52
Easy
Piaget's Theory
According to Jean Piaget, which cognitive ability allows a child to understand that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight?
Correct Answer:
B. Object permanence
EXPLANATION
Object permanence is the understanding that objects exist independently of perception. It develops during Piaget's sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) and is a foundational cognitive milestone.
Q.53
Easy
Erikson's Psychosocial Development
According to Erikson's theory, what is the primary psychosocial crisis during infancy (0-18 months)?
Correct Answer:
C. Trust vs. Mistrust
EXPLANATION
Trust vs. Mistrust is Erikson's first stage during infancy. Consistent care and responsiveness from caregivers develop trust, while neglect or inconsistent care leads to mistrust.
Q.54
Easy
Erikson's Psychosocial Development
Which stage of Erikson's theory corresponds to late adulthood (65+ years)?
Correct Answer:
A. Ego Integrity vs. Despair
EXPLANATION
In late adulthood, Erikson's final stage involves reflecting on one's life. Success results in ego integrity (acceptance of life), while failure leads to despair (regret and bitterness).
Q.55
Easy
Piaget's Stages of Development
In Piaget's sensorimotor stage, what is the primary way infants learn about their world?
Correct Answer:
C. Through sensory experiences and motor actions
EXPLANATION
The sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) is characterized by infants learning through their senses and physical interactions with the environment, as they do not yet have symbolic or language abilities.
Q.56
Easy
Erikson's Psychosocial Development
In Erikson's theory, what is the primary psychosocial crisis during middle childhood (6-12 years)?
Correct Answer:
B. Industry vs. Inferiority
EXPLANATION
Erikson's fourth stage during middle childhood involves developing competence and skills. Success leads to industry (confidence), while failure leads to inferiority (self-doubt).
Q.57
Easy
Vygotsky's Theory
Which theorist emphasized the role of social interaction and the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in learning?
Correct Answer:
B. Lev Vygotsky
EXPLANATION
Vygotsky's sociocultural theory emphasizes that learning occurs through social interaction and within the ZPD, the gap between what a child can do independently and with adult guidance.
Q.58
Easy
Piaget's Cognitive Development
According to Piaget, what is the term for a child's inability to understand that an object continues to exist when it is out of sight?
Correct Answer:
B. Object impermanence
EXPLANATION
Object impermanence is the lack of understanding that objects exist when hidden. This is a characteristic of Piaget's sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) before object permanence develops.
