✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Carol Gilligan criticized Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development by pointing out that his research sample mainly included males, causing Kohlberg's model to emphasize justice and rules. According to Gilligan, the moral development of women and girls is often centered around the 'care perspective', which prioritizes interpersonal empathy and responsibility.

The process of child development follows the Principle of Continuity, meaning that this process starts from conception and continues till death, with never any sudden or abrupt changes. 2. The rate of development is not the same in all children due to individual differences, but the developmental pattern is almost similar in all normal children, such as the cephalocaudal sequence and proximodistal sequence. 3.

During child development, with reference to the principles of development of 'Cephalocaudal Trend' and 'Proximodistal Trend', consider the following statements: 1. The head-to-toe development rule states that physical development always starts from the upper part of the body (i.e., head and brain) and proceeds downwards (towards the feet), due to which an infant learns to control their head and neck before walking. 2. The near-to-far development rule indicates that physical development always starts from the center of the body and proceeds towards the periphery, i.e., outwards, so that the development of the spine and shoulders occurs before the fine muscles of the fingers. 3. These two developmental trends are limited only to physical and motor development, and have no relationship whatsoever with the rates of cognitive, language, or social development in children. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
