Which of the following conditions is most closely associated with the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles?

A. Industry versus inferiority:School-age stage where competence in skills is central; Pavel’s career/legacy focus is later.
B. Identity versus role confusion:Adolescence stage focused on identity formation, not middle-age productivity.
C. Intimacy versus isolation:Young-adult stage focused on forming intimate relationships, not public-policy contributions.
D. Generativity versus stagnation:middle adulthood stage about contributing to future generations and society (generativity), which matches Pavel’s renewed focus on public policy contributions.
E. Ego integrity versus despair:Late-life stage involving life review and acceptance; Pavel is more active/productive, so not this stage.

A. Imitation: Piaget described imitation (especially in the sensorimotor stage) as a basic mechanism by which children learn from others; social learning depends heavily on the ability to imitate.
B. Object permanence: Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist when out of sight; it’s about memory/representation, not directly about learning from others.
C. Animism: Animism (attributing life/intent to inanimate things) is a cognitive tendency in early childhood, not a mechanism for social learning.
D. Centration: Centration is the tendency to focus on one aspect of a situation (a limitation in preoperational thought), not a process that enables social learning.
E. Conservation: Conservation is the understanding that quantity stays the same despite changes in appearance; it’s a logical concept, not directly tied to social learning.
