Question

Match List-I with List-II
{|l|l|} List-I (Concept) & List-II (Description)
(A). Abstract thinking & (I). Oxygen deprivation during pregnancy
(B). TAT & (II). Early adulthood
(C). Anoxia & (III). Intelligence test
(D). Animism & (IV). Adolescent
& (V). Giving living qualities to non-living objects
& (VI). Personality test

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (V), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (VI), (C) - (I), (D) - (V)
• (A) - (V), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Match the most straightforward terms first:
- Animism is attributing life to non-living objects (D--V).
- Anoxia is oxygen deprivation (C--I).
These two matches quickly isolate option (C) as the only possible answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
In developmental psychology, cognitive, clinical, and physiological concepts are identified by specific characteristics and evaluation methods.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us match each term in List-I with its description in List-II:
1. (A). Abstract thinking: According to Jean Piaget's theory, abstract and hypothetical-deductive thinking develops during the formal operational stage, which begins in Adolescence. Hence, (A) matches with (IV).
2. (B). TAT (Thematic Apperception Test): This is a well-known projective Personality test where individuals are shown ambiguous pictures and asked to make up stories about them. Hence, (B) matches with (VI).
3. (C). Anoxia: This is a medical and developmental term referring to Oxygen deprivation during pregnancy or childbirth, which can cause brain injury or developmental delays. Hence, (C) matches with (I).
4. (D). Animism: This is a characteristic of preoperational thought where children ascribe life-like qualities, feelings, and intentions to inanimate, non-living objects (such as believing a toy is sad). Hence, (D) matches with (V).
This yields the combination: (A) - (IV), (B) - (VI), (C) - (I), (D) - (V).

Step 3: Final Answer
The correct matching sequence is given by option (C).
