Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cognitive psychologist would be most interested in this scenario because it involves understanding how Jarvis's attention (a cognitive process) was divided between the task of driving and the conversation on the cell phone, potentially leading to the accident. Cognitive psychologists study mental processes such as attention, memory, perception, and problem-solving.
