Multiple Choice

• B) She is absorbing information about how the environment behaves e.g., "objects fall") without consciously thinking about it.
• C) She is actively thinking about and interpreting the results of her actions.
• D) Because she builds one tower after another, she is obviously reinforced by watching her towers tumble down.
