Sensation and perception - sensation is the core of perception. There are five sense organs i.e. Skin,ears,tongue,eyes,and nose. These sense organs are the gateways of knowledge and help in the perception of various stimuli in the environment.

Needs - the lack of something is experienced by the child. The child then tries to perform that activity which culminates in the satisfaction of needs.

Effective teaching is critical to student success—not just rarely, but every day in every classroom and institution. Students' intellectual, physical, social-emotional, and behavioural well-being are all influenced by effective instruction.

Effective professional learning is the single most potent pathway for teachers in the classroom to foster continual growth in teaching. All other given options are inappropriate.

Social learning theory is a theory of learning and social behavior which proposes that new behaviors can be acquired by observing and imitating others. It states that learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement. In addition to the observation of behavior, learning also occurs through the observation of rewards and punishments, a process known as vicarious reinforcement.

In Extrinsic Motivation, efforts are made to create such type of environment from outside that an individual start taking interest in the task this may include rewards or punishment.

A gender stereotype is a stereotyped opinion or preconception about features or characteristics, or the roles that women and men hold or should possess or perform. A gender stereotype is damaging when it restricts women's and men's ability to develop personal abilities, pursue professional professions, and/or make life decisions. Harmful stereotypes, whether explicitly hostile (such as "women are irrational") or ostensibly benign (such as "women are nurturing"), perpetuate inequities. For example, because women are traditionally viewed as caregivers, child care tasks frequently fall solely on women. Furthermore, when gender stereotypes are combined and intersected with other prejudices, they have a disproportionately harmful influence on certain groups of women, such as women from minority or indigenous groups, women with disabilities, Women from lower castes or with lesser socioeconomic status, migratory women, and so on. All other given options are inappropriate.

Early childhood is a sensitive period for language development. In this stage, the child learns the voice of their family or environment. In the early stages of language development, the brain is programmed to attend to speech sounds and mimic them. The stages of language development in early childhood includes-

• 3- 12 months- During this period, a child communicates with gestures like waving and most likely play with sounds, coo and laugh, etc.
• 12- 18 months- At this stage, a child often says its first word with meaning.

• 2 to 3 years- At this stage, A child can speak long and complex sentences.
• 3 to 5 years- At this stage, children start showing a basic understanding of grammar, and they experiment with more complex sentences.
• 5 to 8 years- At this stage, children can narrate stories and can build unique sentences.

Piaget's cognitive development hypothesis, the preoperational stage is the second stage. This stage lasts from the age of two until around the age of seven. Children think in symbols throughout this time but do not yet use cognitive procedures. Pre (before) operations is the way the youngster thinks at this point. This suggests that the youngster is unable to apply logic, transform, combine, or separate concepts. The child's growth consists of adapting to new experiences in the world and moving toward the (concrete) stage when it can think logically. Children can mentally represent events and objects (the semiotic function) and engage in symbolic play at the end of this period.

Kohlberg's theory of moral development examines how children learn morality and moral reasoning. According to Kohlberg's thesis, moral development develops in six stages.

Kohlberg proposed that person’s progress through these stages in a predetermined order, and that moral comprehension is tied to cognitive development. Pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional moral reasoning are the three levels of moral reasoning. All other given options are inappropriate.
