  1. Which attachment pattern is associated with caregivers who are consistently unresponsive or rejecting?

    Answer: Avoidant attachment

    Avoidant attachment develops when caregivers consistently reject bids for comfort, leading children to suppress attachment behaviors and appear emotionally distant.

  2. Bronfenbrenner's ecological model places the child's immediate settings (home, school, peer group) in which system?

    Answer: Microsystem

    The microsystem includes the immediate environments where the child has direct interactions, such as family, classroom, and neighborhood.

  3. During which Piagetian stage does a child first demonstrate the ability to think logically about concrete objects and events?

    Answer: Concrete operational

    The concrete operational stage (ages 7-11) marks the emergence of logical thinking applied to tangible, real-world situations.

  4. A service coordinator notices a 6-month-old is not making eye contact or responding to their name. Which developmental domain warrants immediate attention?

    Answer: Social-emotional and communication development

    Lack of eye contact and response to name at 6 months are early red flags for social-communication delays, including possible autism spectrum disorder.

  5. The concept of 'goodness of fit' in child development refers to:

    Answer: Compatibility between a child's temperament and caregiver expectations

    Goodness of fit describes how well a child's temperamental style aligns with the demands and expectations of their environment, influencing adjustment outcomes.

  6. Which developmental theorist proposed that moral development progresses through stages, from obedience-focused reasoning to principled ethical thinking?

    Answer: Lawrence Kohlberg

    Kohlberg's theory outlines three levels of moral reasoning—preconventional, conventional, and postconventional—each with two stages.

  7. Parallel play, where children play near each other without direct interaction, is most typical during which age range?

    Answer: 18 months to 3 years

    Parallel play emerges in toddlerhood as children are socially aware of peers but not yet skilled at coordinated cooperative play.
