Answer 1

Q1. Corret Answer- The prefrontal cortex is the complex region of the frontal lobes involved in advanced reasoning, decision making, and self-control. The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the prefrontal cortex area is executive function. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable outcomes).

Q2. Correct Answer- Social conformity level- Stage 5 which states that the child/individual becomes aware that while rules/laws might exist for the good of the greatest number, there are times when they will work against the interest of particular individuals.

Q3. Correct Answer- what might happen (rewards or punishments) as a result of their behavior. in Preconventional Morality, Stage 1 is characterized by Obedience and Punishment Orientation. The child/individual is good in order to avoid being punished. If a person is punished, they must have done wrong.

Q4. Correct Answer- postconventional. The Stage 6 of post-conventional morality is the concept of Universal Principles. People at this stage have developed their own set of moral guidelines which may or may not fit the law. The principles apply to everyone.
