B. F. Skinner once said that he could raise children to be whatever he designed by controlling their environment. Now, behavior genetics show us that behavioral tendencies are influenced by genetic factors. Suppose three young children participated in an experiment. Child A is an identical twin to Child B. Child C is a sibling of Children A and B. After these three children are raised in totally different environments, measures of the magnitude of their similarities are taken. The most likely ordering of the Similarity magnitudes is:
A. C > B = A
B. B > A > C
C. A = B = C
D. A = B > C
D. A = B > C

Chapter 13 discussed whether children's poor memory performance can be traced to faulty metamemory and ineffective use of memory strategies. According to this discussion,
a. the correlation between metamemory and memory performance is extremely high. b. the correlation between metamemory and strategy use is high, but neither of these two factors is correlated with memory performance. c. the correlation between metamemory and memory performance is moderate, and it would probably be higher if we could accurately measure children's metamemory. d. none of the appropriate correlations is statistically significant, so some other factorâ€"other than metamemory accuracy and strategy useâ€"must account for children's memory deficits.
