Although a 14-month-old girl received a shock from an electrical outlet recently, her parents find her about to place a paper clip in another outlet. The best interpretation of this behavior is that:
 
  a. Her cognitive development is delayed.
  b. This is typical behavior because toddlers are not very developed.
  c. This is typical behavior because of inability to transfer knowledge to new situations.
  d. This is not typical behavior because toddlers should know better than to repeat an act that caused pain.

ANS: C
During the tertiary circular reactions stage, children have only a rudimentary sense of the classification of objects. The appearance of an object denotes its function for these children. The slot of an outlet is for putting things into. Her cognitive development is appropriate for her age and represents typical behavior for a toddler. Only some awareness exists of a causal relation between events.
