Explanation:

Analyze Question 23

The scenario describes Jill focusing intensely on reviewing her notes while walking, which prevents her from noticing a highly visible physical obstacle (the sidewalk blockade). This is a classic example of how intense focus on one task filters out other relevant information in the environment. In cognitive psychology, this systematic failure to notice obvious and important information because attention is directed elsewhere is known as bounded awareness (specifically, inattentional blindness).

Let's evaluate the options:

• bounded awareness: Correct. It refers to the cognitive limits that prevent people from noticing useful, observable information.
• bounded rationality: This concept, which is part of your mastered knowledge in Bounded Rationality, refers to decision-making limits due to cognitive, information, and time constraints, rather than perceptual filtering.
• bounded self-interest: This describes limits on how selfishly people act.
• bounded willpower: This describes limits on self-control.

Analyze Question 24

The scenario describes Ernesto's success in consulting based on "common sense" and "effective strategies" in real-world business environments. We are asked to identify this using Robert Sternberg's framework.

According to Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, intelligence is divided into three parts:

1. Analytical intelligence (academic problem-solving)
2. Creative intelligence (dealing with novel situations)
3. Practical intelligence ("street smarts" or common sense used to adapt to, shape, or select everyday environments)

Ernesto's ability to apply common sense and practical strategies to run a successful business directly represents practical intelligence. The other options (intrapersonal, naturalist, spatial) belong to Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, not Sternberg's triarchic model.

Analyze Question 25

The scenario describes Danny choosing to eat an ice cream cone despite being on a diet because he had a rough day. This represents a failure of self-control in favor of immediate gratification.

In behavioral economics and psychology, the tendency to give in to short-term temptations that conflict with our long-term goals (like staying on a diet) is known as Bounded Willpower. Therefore, Danny demonstrated bounded willpower.
