Feedback
A Incorrect. Continuity suggests change is orderly and built upon earlier experiences. Theorists who use discontinuity do not believe there is a connection between early and later development.
B Incorrect. Continuity suggests change is orderly and built upon earlier experiences, hence a shy child becomes an introverted adult.
C Correct. Discontinuity suggests development is a series of discrete steps or stages that elevate the child to a more advanced or high level of functioning with increased age.
D Incorrect. Continuity suggests change is orderly and built upon earlier experiences, hence once an introvert, always an introvert.
