Question

cognitive effects of fetal alcohol syndrome include:
a. learning disabilities
b. delayed with speech
c. hyperactive behavior
d. all of the above

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the cognitive effects of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS):

• Option a: FAS often causes learning disabilities due to brain development disruptions from prenatal alcohol exposure.
• Option b: Delayed speech is common as FAS impacts neurological and cognitive development, slowing language acquisition.
• Option c: Hyperactive behavior (attention - deficit - like symptoms) is a typical behavioral effect of FAS, resulting from altered brain function.

Since all (learning disabilities, delayed speech, hyperactive behavior) are known cognitive/behavioral effects of fetal alcohol syndrome, the correct answer is d.

Answer:

d
