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.
Solely through the influence of genetic factors without considering cognitive development processes.
Through reward-based conditioning where children learn what behaviors are appropriate for their identified sex using reinforcement principles.
Based on an innate instinctual understanding of their own biological sex.
