Question
Suppose that a 7-year-old is visiting a neighbor’s house where the father, Mr. Chen, is cooking dinner. The child incorrectly reports to his/her mother that Mr. Chen was fixing the stove. Such distortions of recall have been found to be
A unusual; 7-year-olds tend to be very accurate in their recall of both gender-consistent and gender-inconsistent behaviors
B common; children often recall gender-inconsistent information incorrectly
C common; 7-year-olds do not yet have a schema for gender appropriateness and simply do not notice the gender of the individual performing an activity
D unusual; it should be very striking and memorable to observe the father rather than the mother cooking
