Solution

Answer

The answer is Substage 3: Secondary circular reactions.

Explanation

Option 1: Substage 2: First habits and primary circular reactions

This substage involves infants beginning to coordinate separate actions into single, integrated activities. However, these actions are primarily focused on the infant's own body and are not yet directed towards external objects.

Option 2: Substage 4: Coordination of secondary circular reactions

This substage involves infants beginning to show intentionality and goal-directed behavior, such as using one object to obtain another. Jimmy's actions are more exploratory and not yet goal-directed.

Option 3: Substage 1: Simple reflexes

This substage involves the use of innate reflexes, such as sucking and grasping, which are not yet coordinated with external objects in a purposeful way.

Option 4: Substage 3: Secondary circular reactions

This substage involves infants beginning to interact with the external environment, repeating actions that produce interesting effects. Jimmy's exploration of the rattle and his enjoyment of the sounds it makes fit this description.

Answer

The answer is spoken language.

Explanation

Option 1: Memory strategies

While important, memory strategies are not the primary tool Vygotsky emphasized for cultural transmission.

Option 2: Written language

Written language is significant but is typically acquired after spoken language and builds upon it.

Option 3: Spoken language

Vygotsky emphasized spoken language as the most crucial tool for transmitting cultural knowledge and cognitive development. It is through spoken language that children learn to think and solve problems in culturally relevant ways.

Option 4: The use of numbers

Numbers are important for cognitive development but are not the primary tool Vygotsky highlighted for cultural transmission.
