Question

A child who fits Jerome Kagan's description for the temperamental style he calls "inhibited to the unfamiliar" is placed in a room by herself; researchers observe the child through a one-way mirror and also check physiological measures. What might they expect to find?A. The child's heart rate accelerates.B. The child looks around for an adult.C. The child's brain waves show a sleep-like pattern.D. The child runs around and moves his arms in stereotyped patterns.

Answer 1

The child's heart rate accelerate (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is partly due to the different thresh hold exitability of the amygdala of the patient.

Answer 2

The researchers would find that: A. The child's heart rate accelerates

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Jerome Kagan's research, inhibition is a trait where a child expresses higher levels of activity and shows a higher level of distress when placed in a new environment or around something unfamiliar.

Children like the one described in the question would therefore be more likely to have an accelerated heart rate when they are left alone in a room.
