Answer:

very common

Explanation:

According to <em>Aging Place in America</em>, a 2007 study on elders' attitudes, most elder citizens are more afraid of losing their independence than of dying. When asked what was their biggest fear, 26% of those surveyed said that they fear not being independent the most, with only 3% worried about death. In the same vein, 89% said that they want to grow old on their own home, and 55% said they don't receive significant care from their adult children, but are content with it. As shown in the study, Enid and George's fiercely independent attitude is very common.

A developmental psychologist studying infants' understanding of object permanence uses a method where infants see an event happe
mixer [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter A. Violation of expectations.

Explanation:

We need to pay close attention to the question, otherwise we might be tempted to choose letter B. What was described does comprise the use of habituation and dishabituation, but the name of the method used is violation of expectations. This method is based on the idea that infants will be surprised when they watch an impossible event take place. Since the event is not what the infant expected, they will show dishabituation - they will look at it for a longer period of time than they would if it were a situation they could predict. An event they have seen multiple times would cause habituation, and the infant would lose interest and look away more quickly.
