Question

Aristotle, 4-year-old boy, suggest that lan, who is 6 feet tall, must be older than his mom, who is only 5 feet tall. This ap0proach of interpreting age based on the heights of an individual can be attributed to Aristotle's Perceptual centration Seeing events as specific states and ignoring transformations Inability to deal with a superordinate and subordinate concept simultaneously egocentricity Scientists believe that the human brain has evolved so that the infant brain can be highly responsive to the effects of experience. The brain is to produce an excess of neurons and synapses so that it can be responsive to many different kinds of sensory and motor simulation. This responsiveness also results in synaptic and neutral degeneration when the neurons that are not stimulated do not continue to function. This aspect of brain development is termed Cerebral cortexification Cerebral lateralization Plasticity Myelinization Compared to other methods of drawing conclusions about behavior, the major advantages of the scientific approach are emphasis on empiricism; subjectivity. bias; ability to generalize the findings. clarity and precision; relative intolerance of error. freedom to make value judgements; use of statistics

Explanation / Answer

According to the statement, Aristotle is a 4 year old and he interpreted age solely based on heights of an individual (person who is tall is older than the person who is short in height). In the given options, perceptual centration (a) and egocentricity (d) may not be applicable in a 4 year old boy. Out of the other options, option (c) could be related to the situation. Basically concept is the classification of things in your mind and we make predictions and assumptions about the world around us. This can be studied in a hierarchy like the base of this is superordinate concept i.e. what we see is what we speak but it doesn’t give us much information about it. However, the above level subordinate concept is to be more specific i.e. seeing basic concepts behind the situation.

So in this case, Aristotle at his age is unable to deal with a superordinate and subordinate concept simultaneously i.e. option (c).
