ANSWER: Part A: At three: no conceptualized theme or plot-repetitious activity. Four-year-old: management of aggressive impulses, attack and rescue is a popular theme, props are used, a lot of gross motor activity. At five, dramatization is usually complex and includes both real-life and fantasy roles. In the primary years, children enjoy dramatizing their favorite stories using props and/or puppets.
Part B: Answers should include the four outcomes identified by Elkonin: delay gratification, cognitive decentering, mental representations, and deliberate behaviors. Other answers could include: thinking and imagination, planning, following the rules, regulate behavior, and create a ZPD.

Comparable to linear models, a component in principal component analysis (PCA) can be described as an equation. Which of the following equations is the correct representation of a component in PCA?
A. Component i = b 0 + b 1 Variable 1 i + b 2 Variable 2 i + . . . + b n Variable n i B. Component i = b 1 Variable 1 i + b 2 Variable 2 i + . . . + b n Variable n i C.
