Explanation:

First Question (About Infants' Imitation and Development)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Infants imitate and are influenced by caregivers' moods and actions, linking to emotional/social development via imitation.
• Option 2: Infants’ primary social/emotional learning is from caregivers, not peers.
• Option 3: Infants react to all caregiver behaviors, not just positive.
• Option 4: Infants respond to caregivers in various contexts, not just playful.

So the correct option is the first one.

Define each term:

• Positive Reinforcement: Encourages behavior via rewards/encouragement.
• Providing Choices: Offers options, not about reward-based behavior establishment.
• Consistency: Maintaining uniform rules, not reward-focused.
• Redirection: Shifting behavior, not about encouraging via reward.

The definition matches positive reinforcement.

Answer:

A. are affected both by the moods and actions of caregivers and parents.
