An evolutionary psychologist would most likely study which of the following aspects of development?

A. Self-awareness: directing attention to one’s own thoughts is introspection/metacognitive self-awareness - recognizing one’s mental states.
B. Self-esteem: Self-esteem concerns evaluative feelings about oneself (worth), not simply attending to one’s thoughts.
C. Self-control: Self-control is regulating behavior/emotions; it may use self-awareness but is not the same thing.
D. Self-adjustment: “Self-adjustment” is not a standard psychological term for attending to one’s thoughts.
E. Self-concept: Self-concept is the broader set of beliefs and knowledge about oneself (traits, roles); directing attention to thoughts more precisely indicates self-awareness.

A. He will qualify for special education services:An IQ of 60 is well below average (typically in the range associated with mild intellectual disability), and children with such low scores commonly qualify for special education supports (though eligibility also depends on adaptive functioning and school policy).
B. He is more intelligent than 60 percent of his classmates:An IQ of 60 is below average (100 is the mean), so he scores lower than the majority.
C. He is of average intelligence:Average intelligence is around an IQ of 100.
D. He is likely to have savant syndrome:Savant syndrome is rare and not implied by a low IQ score.
E. He is much older than other children who have taken the test:The IQ score reflects relative performance, not the child’s age relative to test-takers.
