<u>Professor Patel is conducting observational research on children in kindergarten. Her data will make it possible for her to</u>: describe the children. This question is about understanding psychological research. It is important to gather information on different ways/functions from as broad a perspective as possible in observational research (describe the children is an important tool). Because the child cannot describe their abilities/difficulties by themselves. And the child is expected to adapt to different routines, to interact and communicate, to develop in everyday skills, and to build a foundation for continued learning (life perspective).
Answer:
Rating scale early childhood education
The purpose of the Early Learning Observation Rating Scale (ELORS) is to help teachers and parents gather and share information about young children with specific attention to characteristics that might be early signs of learning disabilities.
Explanation:
Answer:
Observational study.
Problem: "have you ever been convicted of a felony?", the problem with this question is that it is very likely that people that have been convicted will lie and answer "no" to this question.
Explanation:
In an observational study, researchers observe individuals without actually intervening on their conducts. There is no manipulation of the conduct that is observed. And the conclusion is reached by observation of the subjects.
An experiment is made when the researcher takes the individuals and manipulates the variables he's interested in. He makes hypothesis and draws conclusion based on the intervention he did.
1. In this example, the sociologist is using a survey, there is not going to be any manipulation of the conduct but he/she will rather just observe the answers of the participants and draw conclusions based on them.
2. Now, the second question says "have you ever been convicted of a felony?", the problem with this question is that it is very likely that people that have been convicted will lie and answer "no" to this question and therefore the data that the sociologist will gather will not be accurate.
Answer:
4) action stage
Explanation:
The Stages of Change Model is based on the premise that people change their behavior gradually and continuously. They start from the complete lack of awareness of the need for change, make the decision to change, and exercise the new conduct until it becomes a habit. This behavior change process is divided into five successive stages of change. The stage at which one finally changes one's behavior is called the action stage.
It is only at the action stage that Adam will stop smoking. This is because it is at this stage that changes are made to a person's behavior.
Answer:
b. As an infant, Parviz lost the ability to produce sounds he never heard.
Explanation:
Language development starts since the moment we are born, even if we cannot articulate proper words until about 1 year of age.
In terms of language, there's a phenomenon called perceptual narrowing or perceptual reorganization. A new-born can perceive all the speech sounds of any language, however, when the baby is around 6 months old, he starts to lose the ability to tell apart many sounds that aren't used in their native language, this process is called perceptual narrowing or perceptual reorganization.
In this example, Parviz spent his childhood in the Middle East and he started speaking english when he was a teenager. When he pronounces "mother" it sounds more like "mudder", this can be explained by the perceptual narrowing phenomenon in which as a child, Parviz <u>lost the ability to recognize sounds that didn't belong to her native language, and therefore he is not able to pronounce them either.</u> Therefore, the correct answer is b. As an infant, Parviz lost the ability to produce sounds he never heard.
