Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Samantha's ability to consider her long-term goals (career) and evaluate the instructor's reputation requires her to be conscious, aware, and intentional in her decision-making process. Therefore, consciousness is the aspect involved in Samantha's decision-making. Inattentional blindness and change blindness refer to failures to notice unexpected stimuli, and dual processing refers to the way our brain processes information on both a conscious and unconscious level, none of which are the main aspect involved in Samantha's decision-making process.
