Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brandon's immediate focus on controlling the car shows that he has switched to controlled processing, which is a type of thinking that requires conscious attention and effort to complete a task. This is different from automatic processing, which is a type of thinking that is done without conscious attention or effort. The other choices, subjective consciousness and circadian rhythms, are not relevant to the situation.
