Question

Ben Perez is driving along a mountain road. In the distance, he sees a road crew working on a fallen tree that has blocked the highway. When Ben first sees the road crew, which of the following perceptual processes has been engaged?
a. interpretation
b. exposure
c. attention
d. adaptation

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Exposure.

Explanation:

The act exhibited by the highway crew can easily be explained to be exposure because of his stance from a mountain end and their reaction.

Measurement of exposure is generally defined as some form of

the amount of travel, either by vehicle or on foot. Once the amount of travel

is known for certain activities, or road users, and if we know the number of

crashes that are associated with that activity or population, the associated

risk can be calculated. Also the various ways of measuring the amount of travel are referred to collectively as exposure

data because they measure traveller’s exposure to the risk of death or

injury.
