<em>Answer:</em>

<em>His prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.    </em><em> </em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The "prefrontal cortex" </em><em>is also written as "PFC" and is defined as the "cerebral cortex" that covers the front part of a person's frontal lobe of the brain. The prefrontal cortex is being implemented or is significant in planning or developing personality expression, moderating social behavior, complex cognitive behavior, and decision-making process, etc. </em>

<em>A person's prefrontal cortex</em><em> is being fully-developed or matured at the age of twenty-five years and therefore an adolescent has underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. </em>

<em>As per the question, Xavier's poor decision making is due to the fact that his prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.</em>

Raphael is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence:
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

This is an example of marginal analysis, as the decisions made by Raphael are on margin.

Explanation:

The decision of Raphael about pool versus bike time is totally a "how-much decision". It is clear that pool time and bike time can both reduce the time for race. However, the efficiency of pool time is high currently, and hence there is much sense in trying to spend more time in the pool and less on bike. This however makes no sense that all the time is spent in the pool and no time biking. Raphael only intends to alter the number of hours spend on each activity at the margin.

serg [7]

Answer:

Short-term memory

Explanation:

Suppose you are out of town and have to access one of your password protected accounts. You look up the number on your password list, but by the time you are ready to access the account, you have forgotten that password. This best illustrates the limited capacity of Short-term memory. Short-term memory is the information that a person is currently thinking about or is aware of and caused you to look up the number on your password list, but by the time you are ready to access the account, you have forgotten that password.
