You notice that Krista, one of your students, rarely finishes her homework. In class, you notice that she is often squirming in

her seat and looking around the room while you're talking, and she sometimes "drifts off" even when you're speaking directly to her. Concerned, you check her records and talk to her previous teachers. You see that she was given the WISC-III (an individualized intelligence test), and her score was slightly above average. Her other teachers comment that the patterns you've observed existed in their classes as well. Based on this information, which of the following most accurately describes the patterns you've observed in Krista's behavior?
a. She is mildly intellectually handicapped.
b. She is behaviorally disordered.
c. She has a communication disorder.
d. She has an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is a disorderthat a person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention. They virtually have littlie or no ability to sit still, and have self-control. ADHD can affect a child at school, at home, and in friendships.

Signs of ADHD?

Kids in general struggle at times to pay attention, listen and follow any kind of direction, sitting still, or waiting their turn. Kids with ADHD struggle even harder and happen more often. 

Kids with ADHD fall under one, two, or all three of these categories:

Inattentive. 

Kids may have trouble focusing their attention, concentrating, and staying on task. They have a tendency to not listen well to directions, may miss important details and maynot be good finishers They may daydream too much. They may seem absent-minded or forgetful, and lose track of their things.

Hyperactive. 

Kids who are hyperactive are fidgety, restless, and easily bored. They may have trouble sitting still, or staying quiet when needed. They may rush through things and make careless mistakes. They may climb, jump, or roughhouse when they shouldn't. Without meaning to, they may act in ways that disrupt others.

Impulsive. 

They act before they think. They often interrupt, might push or grab, and find it hard to wait. They may do things without asking for permission, , or act in ways that are too risky for themselves and others. They may have emotional reactions that seem to be boderline an over reaction for the situation at hand.

Kista seems to fall under the category of being inattentive and hyperactive.

Why are Senators not impeached for failing to exercise their Constitutional duty of reviewing President Obama's Supreme Court no
ella [17]
The Appointments Clause [of Article II] clearly implies a power of the Senate to give advice on and, if it chooses to do so, to consent to a nomination, but it says nothing about how the Senate should go about exercising that power. The text of the Constitution thus leaves the Senate free to exercise that power however it sees fit. Throughout American history, the Senate has frequently – surely, thousands of times – exercised its power over nominations by declining to act on them.

Stephon knows someone whose brother received a very lucrative contract to play professional basketball for the National Basketba
ankoles [38]

Answer: The base-rate fallacy

Explanation: The base rate fallacy also refered to as base rate bias is the tendency of an individual to erroneously predict the likely outcome of a situation by over looking all relevant data that was supposed to be taken into account. It is the preference of individuating information over relevant data. Stephon over looked the statistical data that his chance of making it into the NBA is low and prefer to go with the individuating information about how his friend's brother receives a lucrative contract to play for the NBA. This situation best illustrates base-rate fallacy.
