Question

6. At the county fair, you hear your sister yell, "Look at the be_ le." You are surrounded by barking dogs and thus interpret be_ le as beagle, not beetle. Proponents of _______ would argue that your awareness of the context affected your interpretation of the ambiguous word.

Answer 1

Proponents of an integrative mind design would argue that your awareness of the context affected your interpretation of the ambiguous word.

Explanation:

Integrative thinking is the ability of thinking and producing a creative solution out of two opposing ideas. This kind of scenario occurs when the person is under tension.

The created solution should be common to both the situation and superior to both.

The new idea is created to face the situation in tension. This is known as integrative thinking.

In the above scenario, the sister yelled at her sister on seeing the barking dogs surrounding her. It used the term be_ le instead of beagle. This is was due to tension.
