|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | At what age do infants typically begin to sit without support? | Infants typically begin to sit without support between 6 to 8 months of age. | Think of the milestone that precedes crawling. |
| 2 | What is the primary cognitive milestone Piaget associates with the sensorimotor stage? | The development of object permanence, the understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight, usually around 8-12 months. | It's about knowing that hidden objects still exist. |

| 10 | Which cognitive development stage does Jean Piaget associate with adolescence? | The formal operational stage, characterized by abstract thinking, hypothetical reasoning, and problem-solving. | Think of teenagers pondering 'what if' scenarios. |
| 11 | What are common emotional changes observed in middle adulthood? | Increased emotional regulation, reassessment of life goals, and sometimes the experience of a mid-life crisis. | Reflect on the 'midlife' period often associated with life reevaluation. |
| 12 | At what age do early signs of cognitive decline typically begin to appear? | Usually in late adulthood, around age 65 and older. | Think about the age when age-related memory issues may first be noticed. |

| 18 | When does the development of abstract reasoning generally occur? | During adolescence, with the onset of formal operational thinking. | Think of teenagers contemplating abstract concepts like justice or freedom. |
| 19 | Which physical milestone marks the transition from childhood to adolescence? | Onset of puberty, typically between ages 9-14 for females and 10-15 for males. | Think of the physical changes that prepare the body for adulthood. |
| 20 | What are typical emotional challenges faced during adolescence? | Identity exploration, mood swings, peer pressure, and developing independence. | Recall the teenage years' hallmark struggles. |
