In the context of Jean Mandler's theory of 'Image-schema and Conceptual Development', which is the main cognitive process used by infants in early infancy to transform sensorimotor experiences into abstract concepts?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Mandler's theory of cognitive development, infants extract 'spatial-primitive schemas' or perceptual images from their sensorimotor interactions and transform them into abstract concepts through a 'perceptual-to-conceptual transition'. This process explains how children begin to conceptualize the meaning of objects and events even before learning language.

Under Environmental Studies (EVS) teaching and ecosystem, consider the following statements regarding 'Biodiversity' and its conservation: 1. The concept of 'Biodiversity Hotspots' was propounded by British environmentalist Norman Myers in the year 1988, and two main conditions are mandatory to declare an area as a hotspot: that region must have at least 1,500 endemic plant species and that region must have lost at least 70% or more of its original vegetative land. 2. India currently has a total of four officially recognized biodiversity hotspot regions, which are: Western Ghats, Eastern Himalaya, Indo-Burma Region, and Sundaland (including the Nicobar Islands). 3. Under the 'In-situ' conservation strategy, organisms and plants are conserved outside their natural habitat (such as in a botanical garden, zoo, or gene bank), whereas national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves fall under 'Ex-situ' conservation. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
