Match List - I with List - II:

List I	List II
I. Allocentric	I. Reproduction of an observed behavior after the passage of time
II. Circular Reactions	II. An infant learns to reproduce desired occurrences originally developed by chance
III. Deferred Imitation	III. Able to objectively consider relationships among objects or people
IV. Horizontal Decalage	IV. Inability to transfer learning about one type of conservation to other types

Correct option is C

The correct matches are as follows:
    A. Allocentric – III: Allocentric thinking allows individuals to objectively consider relationships among objects or people, shifting focus from themselves to external perspectives.
    B. Circular Reactions – II: In infants, circular reactions involve repeating behaviors that were initially accidental but resulted in a desired outcome, such as shaking a rattle.
    C. Deferred Imitation – I: This is the ability to reproduce a behavior observed earlier, even after a delay. For example, a child mimics their parent using a phone after watching them.
    D. Horizontal Decalage – IV: Refers to the inability to apply a learned concept (e.g., conservation of liquid) to other similar concepts (e.g., conservation of weight).

Milestones and Stages
    Allocentric Thinking (Concrete Operational Stage):
        Children move beyond egocentrism (common in the Preoperational Stage) and begin to recognize the perspectives of others.
        Example: A child understanding that someone else might have a different opinion or preference.
    Circular Reactions (Sensorimotor Stage):
        Primary Circular Reactions: Focused on the infant’s own body (e.g., sucking thumb).
        Secondary Circular Reactions: Involve external objects (e.g., shaking a rattle for the sound).
        Tertiary Circular Reactions: Intentional experimentation with actions (e.g., dropping objects to see what happens).
    Deferred Imitation (End of Sensorimotor Stage):
        This milestone indicates the child’s ability to store and recall observed actions.
        Example: After watching a parent use a phone earlier in the day, the child later picks up a toy phone and mimics the behavior.
    Horizontal Decalage (Concrete Operational Stage):
        Children master conservation concepts sequentially, not all at once.
        Example: A child might understand the conservation of liquid but struggle with the conservation of weight until later in the stage.
