Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

C. metacognition:  Metacognition is thinking about one’s own thinking, not the event-sequence knowledge described.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Presbyopia:Presbyopia is age-related difficulty focusing on near objects (vision), not hearing.
B. Tinnitus:Tinnitus is ringing in the ears (symptom), not the age-related hearing loss Heather is experiencing.
C. Presbycusis:presbycusis is age-related sensorineural hearing loss common in healthy older adults, affecting conversational hearing.
D. Atherosclerosis:Vascular disease can affect hearing indirectly but is not the typical age-related, non-disease explanation.
E. Stroke:Stroke can cause sudden hearing/neurological deficits, but Heather’s gradual, age-related decline fits presbycusis.

Correct Answer is E

Explanation

A. Confounding: A confounding variable is an extraneous factor that varies with the independent variable and could provide an alternative explanation for the outcome; the video type is the manipulated factor, not an uncontrolled confound.
B. Control: A control variable is something the experimenter holds constant across conditions to prevent it from influencing the outcome; the video type is not something held constant.
C. Intervening: An intervening (mediating) variable is an internal process that links the independent and dependent variables (e.g., increased arousal), not the manipulated stimulus itself.
D. Dependent: The dependent variable is the outcome being measured (here, aggressive behavior); the video type is the presumed cause, not the outcome.
E. Independent: The independent variable is the factor the researchers manipulate (aggressive vs. nonaggressive video) to see its effect on behavior.
