Question: 1 / 400

What is the term for a developmentally appropriate behavior that is observed in some cultures but not in others?

Social milestone

Cognitive milestone

Social marker

Cultural norm

A cultural norm is a set of behaviors and beliefs that are typical and expected within a specific culture. Behavioral milestones refer to specific skills or abilities that are expected at a certain age or stage of development. While some social markers may be influenced by cultural norms, they are not necessarily exclusive to one culture. Cognitive milestones refer to the development of mental abilities and are not specific to cultural differences. Therefore, only the term cultural norm accurately describes a behavior that is observed in some cultures but not in others.
