Luke is playing with a bouncing ball in his playpen when it accidentally bounces out of the playpen and rolls under a nearby chair. Luke tries to get his mother to retrieve his ball by pointing in the direction of where the ball? went under the chair. What would Jean Piaget say Luke's behavior illustrates?

c) mental representation.

Explanation:

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

a) mental manipulation.

b) attention.

c) mental representation.

d) scheme

According to Piaget, kids go through different stages in their cognitive development. During his second year of life, and during the sensorimotor stage, children become able to form mental representations of objects, in other words, they know that objects keep existing even if they are out of sight and can create mental representations of them and imagine things even when they don't see them. This is a milestone in children development because they achieve object permanence (realizing things don't cease to exist just because they are out of their sight).

In this example, Luke is playing with a ball and it rolls under a nearby chair. Luke tries to get his mother to retrieve his ball by pointing in the direction of where the ball went under the chair. We can see that Luke has a mental representation of the ball and he knows where the ball is even though it is out of his sight, therefore, this behavior illustrates mental representation.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )

it is a better alternative
