development as they actively construct their understanding of the world?
a. Attachment theory by Bowlby
b. Cognitive development by Jean Piaget
c. Psychosocial development by Erik Erikson
d. Psychosexual development by Sigmund Freud
Answer: B
This question aligns with the CO because it addresses one of the cognitive theories that help

theories we are studying is one of our outcomes.

b. Ability to control his/her feelings
c. Understand the feelings of others

This question. Aligns with the CO because it addresses one of the socioemotional aspects of
Lifespan development. This explains our understanding of an infant's development through
the infancy stage of lifespan development.
Questions for 2nd-CO –
Compare normal physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development with abnormal
development throughout the lifespan.
, 1) Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development says that children will progress through
four stages of cognitive development, each with specific characteristics that allow
specific kinds of thinking. What are the four stages?
a. Preoperational, Concrete Operational, Formal Operational & Post Operational
b. Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Formal Operational & Identity
c. Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, & Formal Operational
d. None of the Above.
Answer: C
This question addresses the CO by reviewing one of the main theories used to compare and
contrast normal vs. abnormal development throughout the lifespan. If we know the answer to
this question, we can use our understanding of each stage in case studies. Meaning we have
an in-depth enough knowledge to understand what normal behavior is vs. what is not.
2) Kohlberg's work expanded on the earlier work of cognitive theorist Jean Piaget to
explain children's moral development, which he believed follows a sequence of stages.
Kohlberg's theory has three levels of moral development, with each level has two distinct
stages. Which of the below belong to Kohlberg's theory?
a. Preconventional
b. Conventional
c. Post Conventional
d. All of the above
Answer: D
This question addresses our socioemotional developmental theory of understanding. This
guarantees our understanding of each stage in Kohlberg’s theory of moral development.
