Answer: He did not identify a spurious relationship.

A spurious relationship is one where two variables are not causally connected to each other, but may be inferred that they are because of their simultaneous appearance and a similar behaviour. These two variables are only linked with each other by coincidence, or through a third variable.

In this case, the mayor assumes that the implementation of the new regulations caused the crime rate to go down, when in fact there is a third variable (weather) that was the true cause.

In other words, the mayor equated correlation with causation. This is a common mistake in economics due to the inability of economists to perform experiments, having to rely solely on statistical analysis. In order to be aware of this mistake, it is good to remember the motto "<u>correlation is not causation</u>."

In the past, developmentalists believed that human intelligence is Static, whereas now it is commonly understood that intelligence is malleable.

Human intelligence:

  • The capacity to learn from experience, adapt to novel circumstances, comprehend and manage abstract concepts, and apply information to influence one's surroundings are all components of human intelligence.
  • Humans are cognitively capable of learning, forming concepts, understanding, applying logic and reason, as well as the capacities to recognize patterns, plan, innovate, solve problems, make decisions, retain information, and use language to communicate. These abilities are all a part of intelligence.
  • Humans are often regarded as the most intellectual species on the planet; humans possess large brains that are superior to those of other animals in terms of processing speed and cognitive ability. In actuality, during millions of years of evolution, humans have demonstrated a tremendous growth in brain size and intelligence.

Nata [24]

Answer:

1.The parents should not be concerned, as girls often develop language skills earlier and faster than boys. This will not necessarily amount to any long-term differences.

Explanation:

The Components of language includes:

1. Language comprehension

2. Language production

The Crucial communicators in language development are: Joint attention, Give and take, Preverbal gestures, Word-gesture combinations etc. The First speech a child makes is said to be cooing and it usually occur in the first 2 months and vowel sounds. babbling occurs after 6 months, consonant-vowel combos, there is universal timing and also range expansion.

Early phases of phonological development

The First words are mostly sounds, made by the child and it is related to semantic development, they understand more than they produce; with time, improve meaning expression and others. Late phases of phonological development is when the child can say more like 200-300 words, adjust vowel lengths, addition of unstressed syllables, full word etc.

Semantic development

In this stage, there is the development of language rather than just of sounds, meaning and vocabulary, fast-mapping and vocal growth spurt, its critical period ranges from 18-24 months.
