Explanation / Answer
Q. According to the Adult Attachment Interview, which of the following is NOT an adult attachment classification?
Ans. Insecure-emotionally immature.
This is the incorrect answer. Adults have 4 attachment styles: secure, anxious–preoccupied, dismissive–avoidant, and fearful–avoidant.
Q. Wade is quiet, adjusts only gradually to new situations, and has moderately predictable biological cycles. Which kind of temperament does he have?
Ans. slow-to-warm-up.
Wade seems to be a slow-to-warm-up child as he shows uneasiness with new situations and takes time to adjust to the situation. However, we cannot classify him as 'difficult' because of his adjustment although gradual, isn't non-existent.
Q. A young child sees a dog and exclaims, “Look dad, a cat!” The child only noticed that the animal had 4 legs, like the family’s pet cat. Which Piagetian concept does this scenario best exemplify?
Ans. Assimilation.
Assimilation is the process that determines how new information is processed and incorporated into existing knowledge. In this case, the child's previous knowledge of a cat is that of an animal with four legs. The child attempts to apply the same principle to this scenario likewise.
