A caregiver says, “My child learned to ride a tricycle after repeated demonstration and practice.” Which concept does this example show?
Correct answer: B. Learning through experience and practice
- A. Maturation without environmental influence
- B. Learning through experience and practice
- C. Growth measured by body length
- D. A fixed genetic sequence without variation
Explanation
Riding a tricycle is a learned motor skill that develops through practice, instruction, and opportunity. Maturation provides biological readiness, but it does not alone teach the specific skill.
