  4. Babies are attracted to motion. For instance, they enjoy watching things that move, such as cars, crib mobiles, and flickering images on a television screen. This attraction is known as: • an affordance. • habituation. • dynamic perception. • sensorimotor intelligence.

  5. Research on memory suggests that adults rarely remember events that occurred before they were: • 3. • 5. • 7. • 9.

  8. Baby Max watched his father use a screwdriver to dislodge something from the sink.

Max is demonstrating: • primary circular reactions. • object permanence. • deferred imitation. • dynamic perception.

  9. When 17-month-old Kevin hears his father come into the kitchen, he looks in that direction and says, “Dada?” Kevin’s communication is an example of: • overgeneralization. • a language acquisition device. • a holophrase. • child-directed speech.
