Question

Developmental researchers use the term "goodness of fit" to refer to: the match between the mother's and baby's blood type. the tendency of the caregiver to coordinate eye contact and vocalization with a baby. the similarity of the genotype of the mother and the genotype of the father. the match between the caregiver's responses to a child and the child's temperament.

Answer 1

the match between the caregiver's responses to a child and the child's temperament.

Step-by-step explanation:

The baby goes through various stages of development where he begins to develop his skills and abilities. Among these developmental stunts, babies begin to realize objects, to recognize people, to indicate when they are dissatisfied, among other things. An important point of the baby's development occurs when there is a correspondence between the caregiver's responses and the child's temperament, this moment of development is what developmental researchers call "goodness of fit".

Option D is correct.

Goodness of fit is simply defined as the compatibility between environment and a child's temperament as proposed by Thomas and Chess in 1977. Poorness of fit occurs when temperament is not respected and accommodated.
