Answer:

a. A chilly examination room or your cold hands have activated the cremasteric reflex.  

Explanation:

           Cremasteric reflex is the superficial reflex which is found only in human males that is revoked when  inner thigh is stroked. Stroking the skin activates the cremaster muscle and it helps to contract ipsilateral testicle up towards the inguinal canal.

          Thus in the context, in the preschool exam, the examiner could not feel the baby's testes but his parents claims that the testes are visible while having bath and are normal in size. The examiner could not palpate the baby's testes because the the room was cold enough  or the examiner's hand was cold enough which activated the cremasteric reflex and it makes the testes to pull up.

Hence the correct option is (a).

Answer: self-monitoring

Explanation:

What is the self monitoring procedure ?

This is the procedure in which an individual is given an opportunity to control their behaviour in order to ensure that it aligns well with social accepted behaviours.

If a person has a behaviour that has gotten out of hands self-monitoring procedure gives them the ability to ensure that they reduce the effect of this behaviour to atleast minimum or to a level that is acceptable.

Psychologist categorises two types of people when it comes to this procedure there are high self-monitors and low- self monitors.

High self monitors will change their behaviour to please others.

Low-self monitors hold on to their self standards and they remain true to themselves .

So the person who may have a drinking problem will benefit in monitoring a drinking behaviour by monitoring their drinking habits.

Counting the drinks will give them an idea of how much they have drank and that will allow him to monitor his behaviour.
