Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carrie's ability to dress herself and attend to her own hygiene reflects her adaptive behavior, which involves practical and social skills needed for everyday life. In contrast, self-regulation involves the ability to control one's behavior, emotions, and attention, which is not specifically addressed in the given information. Perceptual and cognitive domains refer to sensory processing and thinking abilities, respectively, but are not the focus of Carrie's developmental level in this context.
