Infants in Kellman and Spelke's habituation experiment viewed a rod that was covered by a block. The results showed that
 
  a. motion cues helped identification of the whole form.
  b. boys' form perception is superior to that of girls.
  c. form perception is innate and highly accurate.
  d. subjective contours are invisible to infants.

Question 2

Regarding gender differences on aggression,

  b. boys are more covertly aggressive than girls.
  c. boys and girls do not differ on this dimension.
  d. girls are more covertly aggressive, while boys are more overtly aggressive.

Question 3

Infants in Kellman and Spelke's habituation experiment looked at a rod that was covered by a block. They were better able to perceive the rod tips as part of a whole rod when
 
  a. verbal hints were given by the researcher.
  b. the rod moved back and forth behind the block.
  c. the opaque block was briefly made transparent.
  d. candy rewards were supplied for the correct answers.

Question 4

As compared with girls, boys' interest and participation in rough-and-tumble play is
 
  a. a compensatory response to their lower verbal abilities.
  b. a concrete expression of superior mathematical reasoning.
  c. supported by their higher level of physical activity.
  d. based on superiority in visual imagery manipulation.

Question 5

Kellman and Spelke's habituation experiment with a block and a partially hidden stationary rod showed that young infants
 
  a. perceived a whole connected rod.
  b. visualized an invisible rod behind the block.
  c. did not perceive the two rod tips as connected.
  d. moved their eyes as if imagining the rod's movement.
