Overlapping waves theory (an information-processing approach) and Piaget’s theory differ in what way(s): Select one: i. In overlapping waves theory, children have several different strategies that they can apply to solve a problem; In Piaget’s theory, children tend to apply a single strategy across contexts until they shift to a new developmental stage ii. In Piaget’s theory, children have several different strategies that they can apply to solve a problem, depending on the context; In overlapping waves theory, children tend to apply a single strategy across contexts until they shift to a new developmental stage iii. Overlapping waves theory focuses on the mechanisms that lead to development of problem solving; Piaget’s theory does not focus on mechanisms iv. A & C

3b)Ten-month-old Micha is shown a picture of a happy face. After 15 seconds she loses interest and looks away. She is shown the same happy face again and this time looks for 10 seconds. The third time she looks for 4 seconds, and the fourth time just for 2 seconds. Next, she is shown a picture of the same person’s face, but this time it is angry. She looks at the face for 15 seconds. This is an illustration of the ________ paradigm. We can infer that Micha ___________ the difference between happy and angry faces.

3c)A researcher shows a baby a large toy rabbit and a small toy rabbit. Next to the rabbits is a wall with a large window opening. There is enough space for the small rabbit to cross behind the wall without being seen in the window. However, when the large rabbit passes behind the wall its ears should be visible through the window (i.e., the rabbit is tall enough that the wall won’t hide it completely). The researcher moves the small rabbit behind the wall, and it disappears from the baby’s sight until it comes out on the other side. The researcher then moves the large rabbit behind the wall. It also disappears from the baby’s sight until it comes out on the other side (even though it should be visible through the window). The baby looks longer on trials in which the large rabbit disappears than when the small rabbit disappears. This is an example of the __________ procedure. The researcher concludes that the baby__________ rules about occlusion (i.e., when an object should be hidden).
