23
Q
Young Boris, only a bit over 18 months of age, has been fooled by his parents. In order to get him to willingly take a children’s chewable vitamin every day they have taught him that it is a “lolly”. Now, whenever he sees any product that is small and brightly coloured he says “lolly! YUUUUUM!” and tries to put it into his mouth.

Psychoanalytic theory opedius and electra
Oedipus complex (males relate more to father); Electra complex (females relate more to mother)
- Developed my Sigmund Freud. Was said that during a child’s phallic stage, they would develop one of the comples’s.
- Essentially meant that unconsciously they developed a crush on the opposite sex parent. However, they would become afraid the same-sex parent would find out, so they would bond with them.
33
Khlberg (gender constancy)
- Children learn gender and are aware of the gender of others and themselves by the age of three. However, at these ages they still do not understand that people cannot change genders like clothes, names or behaviour.
- Theorised that children behave in gender-appropriate ways after they understand that gender permanent, which occurs at the age of 7. At which point they model the behaviour of members of the same sex.
- Concept that a persons sex is a permanent attribute ties to underlying biological properties.

Spatial then feature based
64
To prevent accidents a number of companies have developed “heads-up” displays that project dashboard information (eg speed) onto the windscreen.
