According to Wegner, Two Processes Are Involved in Mental Control

According to Wegner, two processes are involved in mental control: an intentional operating system and an ironic monitoring process. When people exert mental control, such as a dieter trying to suppress thoughts and desires about food, the ironic monitoring process

A) which is largely conscious, suppresses unwanted thoughts and desires.
B) which is largely unconscious, scans the environment, memory, and current thinking for any signs of the unwanted thought or desire.
C) works best under mental load when we are stressed or distracted.
D) only operates intermittently so we never know when an unwanted thought or desire might intrude into consciousness.
