Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gwen's planning function is responsible for inhibiting impulsive behavior and weighing the consequences of her actions. Since she tends to act without thinking, it suggests that her planning function is not effectively functioning. The other options, such as the suprachiasmatic nucleus of her hypothalamus, nonconscious processing, and circadian rhythm, are not directly linked to her impulsive behavior.
