Question

Gina, a 15-year-old, needs to assess a risky situation to quickly get the gist of what is happening and glean that the situation is a dangerous context. She is unlikely to benefit from engaging in reflective, detailed, higher-level cognitive analysis about a decision, especially as it is a high-risk, real-world context where she would get bogged down in trivial detail. This kind of decision making is explained by the _________.

Answer 1

Answer: Fuzzy-trace theory dual-process model.

Explanation:

Fuzzy-trace theory dual-process model is the dual trace concept that describes about cognitive process in memory research and reasoning. This model explains about inconsistencies occurring in the information processing along with memory reasoning disconnections.

According to the question, decision making technique used by Gina is depicting fuzzy-trace theory dual process model as cognitive phenomena is being explained through disparity occurring in memory process and reasoning in relation with the risky situation.
