Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer:
Jane is aware that she is sitting in her psychology class and it is almost lunchtime. She is also aware of how tired she is after staying up too late to watch a movie. Thus, if Jane is aware of what is going on around her and what is going in within her, then it is safe to say that she is in a state of waking consciousness. Therefore, option a. is correct.
Option a. is given as “state of waking consciousness”.
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
Waking consciousness is when thoughts, sensation, and feelings are clear and are organized in an individual’s brain. In waking consciousness, a person is alert. Similarly, in the case of Jane, her thought is clear and well organized. Jane is aware of the psychology class and also remembers the reason for her tiredness. This indicates that she is in the state of waking consciousness.
Hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “altered state of consciousness”.
Altered state of consciousness is when the thoughts of an individual are not organized and the individual is highly alert and conscious. Jane thoughts are organized and her mind was alert. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “unconsciousness state”.
Jane was totally aware of the things that are happening around her and within her mind, so she was in the state of waking consciousness. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “preconscious state”.
Preconscious state is a state that is present between the conscious and unconscious state. In an unconscious state, the person does not remember his thoughts. In the given case, Jane is not in the preconscious state because she remembers everything about last night. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
Jane is in a state of waking consciousness because she was aware of the present psychology class and also remembers the late night movie.
