Which of the following best explains the attitude of President Herbert Hoover when the Great Depression began in 1929?

Social Studies
1 answer:
damaskus [11]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover was under the impression that the stock market crash of 1929 was a simple market correction, that it would go away if everybody just acted like everything was normal, and that markets simply do these things from time to time. Billboards circa 1930 with the blurb "Wasn't the depression terrible?" kind of summed up his tone-deaf approach to massive unemployment and runs on banks. He honestly believed that government intervention was not the answer.

By the time Roosevelt took office in 1933, he understood that no quick solutions were to be had. He did start a lot of public works projects, like the Works Projects Administration (which gave a lot of people short-term employment teaching, painting post office murals, and cleaning up public lands) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (which put a lot of broke farmers to work putting a utilities infrastructure in place in parts of the South, putting the pieces of a post-agricultural economy in place).

He also instituted several "bank holidays" to discourage panic-driven depositors from taking all their money out of their banks. Austerity became the new normal in America and stayed that way until the US entered World War II.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The correct answer is Imagery.

Explanation:

Cognitive psychology can be understood as the academic study of cognitive and metal processes that occur in the individual.

One of those cognitive processes is memory.

Widely speaking, memory is the cognitive ability that helps us remember events, concepts, movements, words, numbers and also memory helps us learn new things.

Remembering is a very complex process and it can be influenced by multiple factors.

Semantic memory is a type of memory that consists of conceptual information such as words, numbers, concepts, etc.

Certain factors contribute to the level of difficulty to remember certain things.

In this particular case, the fact that we are more likely to remember the words bicycle, cigarette and fire than the words void, process and inherent is because the first group of words we can visualize it in the real world.

We know how a cigarette looks, but how does inherent looks like?

This shows the value of Imagery. When we can visualize things we can remember said things more easily.

Terms like intelligent, creative, reliable, and persistent exemplify _______ dispositions.
balandron [24]

Answer:

These terms exemplify central dispositions.

Explanation:

According to Gordon Allport, central dispositions, or central traits, are characteristics which tend to be present in almost every individual. They tend to be the foundation of one's personality, being the base or root. These tend to <em>describe an individual's overall character. </em>

Allport believes everyone has 5-10 central traits, to a certain extent.

For example, an individual can describe him/herself as being creative, persistent or reliable. This means these tend to be the individual's core traits.
