How does temperament affect development?

  1. It provides motivation to develop skills

  2. It acts as an indicator of biological maturation

  3. It provides the foundation of cognitive development

  4. It determines a child's response to environmental stimulation

The correct answer is: It determines a child's response to environmental stimulation

Temperament is the natural disposition or behavior of an individual, which is believed to be influenced by genetic factors. An individual's temperament can greatly affect their development, as it determines how they interact and respond to their environment. This can be seen in how they approach tasks, interact with others, and handle stress. While motivation (choice A), biological maturation (choice B), and cognitive development (choice C) can all play a role in development, they are not directly related to temperament. Therefore, they are not the correct answer to how temperament affects development.
