Topic 6.7
How does cognitive developmental theory explain children's understanding about their own sex identification?
Children's cognitive development allows them to understand their own sex as a constant characteristic over time despite superficial changes in appearance or behavior.
Through reward-based conditioning where children learn what behaviors are appropriate for their identified sex using reinforcement principles.
Solely through the influence of genetic factors without considering cognitive development processes.
Based on an innate instinctual understanding of their own biological sex.
