B{'text': 'Have no effect on later learning', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': 'Take away from learning it at a later stage', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': 'Compensate for weak motivation', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. {'text': 'Take away from learning it at a later stage', 'label': 'C'}
1. NCF 2005 §2.3.2 states: 'Teaching something before the child is cognitively ready takes away from learning it at a later stage.'
2. The same bullet adds that children may 'remember' facts but not understand them or relate them to the world.
3. This rules out the idea that early introduction speeds readiness or compensates for motivation.
