Answer 1

Answer: Dr. Just is identifying whether a participant is thinking of a tool or dwelling. The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Dr. Just is using a computer program to analyze the thoughts of her patients. the participants are asked to think about different objects and stimuli. The Dr can determine if the participant is thinking about a took or a dwelling just by analyzing her thought process via the computer program.

The computer is not, per say, reading the participants thoughts but making a probability based choice that is based on the two thoughts the participant is having.
