Answer:

A) Yes, as his conduct was intentional.

Explanation:

While Adam was only playing a practical joke, his own common sense should have said to him that stage a robbery even with the intention of a joke could provoke emotional distress in people.  

When it comes to jokes, it is important to remember that there are subjects that we are all scared about and some people react in different ways, so while his intention was not about inflicting emotional distress, his conduct was one hundred percent intentional.

Making jokes is ok but in a contest where people do not feel emotional distress because of them.

Answer:

c. Retrieval

Explanation:

According to psychology, there are three processes involved in human memory:

  1. Encoding: this is the first step in the memory process. Encoding helps us to transform items into constructs that will be stored later in our memory.
  2. Storage: is the process of storing the information that was encoded earlier. It can be stored either in our short-term memory or in our long-term memory.
  3. Retrieval: This is the process that helps us <u>remember and bring to conscience the information that was stored earlier</u>. The process of retrieval helps us 're-access' to the information that was previously saved in our memory.

In this example, Zachariah found that once he started studying he was able to recall the information he had learned. We can see that t<u>he information was encoded and stored in his memory (otherwise he couldn't have recalled it), </u>therefore, <u>this information that was stored earlier was bring to conscience and he could "re-access" this information</u>, thus the main memory process that accounts for the fact that Zachariah could access and utilize the information in his memory is retrieval.
