A child watches a mother move some chocolate while "Maxi" isn’t watching. A psychologist asks, "Where will Maxi look for the chocolate?" What concept is the psychologist testing?A. Theory of mind
B. Conservation of volume
C. Concrete operations
D. Identity achievement

The correct answer is : A. Theory of mind

Explanation:

This theory refers to the fact that children gain greater and better life experiences with social interactions such as exchange, competition, conflict, cooperation, and accommodation. What it says is that it is easier to understand others' perspectives, beliefs, intentions, and desires when you make contact and you can identify those behaviors are different from yours.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
