Piaget (1936) Theory of cognitive development

What is the primary function of the Central Nervous System (CNS)?

• Controls external actions of skin and muscles

• Carries sensory information from the spinal cord to the brain and motor messages to the Peripheral Nervous System

• Manages involuntary muscle movement

• Prepares the body for fight or flight response

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for involuntary muscle movement?

• Somatic Nervous System

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

What does the Sympathetic Nervous System primarily prepare the body for?

• Rest and digest response

• Fight or flight response

• Voluntary muscle movement

• Sensory information processing

Which system is involved in calming the body and normal functioning?

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

What is the function of the structure labeled as "1" in the diagram?

• Transmit electrical signals

• Store genetic information

• Protect the neuron

• Produce neurotransmitters

Which part of the neuron is responsible for insulating the axon, as shown in the diagram?

• Dendrites

• Myelin sheath

• Cell body

• Axon terminal

Identify the structure labeled as "4" in the diagram and its primary function.

• Axon terminal; releases neurotransmitters

• Nucleus; controls cell activities

• Dendrite; receives signals

• Myelin sheath; insulates axon

What is the primary function of the structure labeled as number 4 in the brain diagram?

• Motor control

• Vision processing

• Memory formation

• Language comprehension

Which structure is responsible for processing visual information in the brain diagram?

• Structure 1

• Structure 2

• Structure 3

• Structure 5

Which stage of Piaget's cognitive development is characterized by abstract thinking?

• Sensorimotor

• Pre-operational

• Concrete operational

• Formal operational
