Answer 1

Answer:

D) People process information from the environment rather than simply responding to stimuli.

Explanation:

Human beings do not objectively analyze the experiences we experience and react to them in a literal way, because we will always interpret them in light of our previous knowledge. Learning is not the simple assimilation of information we receive from our environment, but it is explained by a dynamic of fit between new information and our old structures of ideas.
