Human Growth And Development CLEP Prep Practice Exam

A person who is in middle childhood development is most likely:

Entering puberty Developing motor skills Developing abstract thinking Attending college

Correct Answer:

Developing motor skills

Explanation:

Children in middle childhood, typically between the ages of 6-12, are primarily focused on developing their motor skills. This includes gross motor skills, such as running and jumping, as well as fine motor skills, such as writing and drawing. Entering puberty (option A) usually occurs in late childhood/early adolescence, around the ages of 9-12 for girls and 10-14 for boys. Developing abstract thinking (option C) generally occurs in adolescence, so it is not a characteristic of middle childhood. Attending college (option D) is usually reserved for young adults, so it is not applicable to middle childhood development. Therefore, the best answer is B Developing motor skills.
