Another theory within the symbolic interaction perspective is ________, based on the idea that successful personal development t
hroughout the life course and subsequent mastery of the challenges associated with everyday life are based on the components of choice, enhancements and at least some rewards.
This theory by Baltes(1990) in symbolic interaction perspective suggests that as individuals get older they seem to try to get the best results from the most little efforts. In other words, an older elderly person with physical limitations seeks to optimize his gains as much as possible while putting as much little effort as is possible(within his physical ability) to compensate for other losses or range of goals that may not have been accomplished.

Option D
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
In group-based research, selection-history effect assesses the behaviour displayed by the test subjects before and after the test. Since it is a history threat or effect, it means the outcomes of the results will be affected by the individual’s past experiences.
The individuals in the research have different pasts, and while the control group may have performed worse, it shows that there are other factors influencing motor control. It may be a bad experience with bad driving at a younger age, or some have a phobia to driving.
