59-60) Use the text below to answer questions 59-60 Brian is a 5-year old boy sitting with his grandmother who just had a stroke.  Brian is showing his grandmother a picture of his family that he just drew (see image below).  Brian’s grandmother says, “Brian, did you forget to put your sister Kelly in the drawing?” Brian responds by saying, “No grandma. Kelly is next to dad.” (Brian points to the part of the drawing where Kelly is on the left side of the page).    Brian’s grandmother responds by saying, “Oh my.  How did I not notice her over there?”  59) Brian’s grandmother’s behavior is most consistent with what disorder or syndrome?

46)  Alex and James are identical 19-year-old twins.  Both Alex and James are signed up to complete a research survey on Monday afternoon. On Monday morning, Alex was looking through social media and he saw that three friends of his from college were involved in a serious car accident.  James wasn’t friends with any of the individuals and so didn’t see or hear anything about the accident.  When Alex and James arrive to complete the research survey, one of the questions asks, “Please estimate how likely you are to be involved in a serious car accident.”  Alex answers 1 in 20 James answers 1 in 1000 Based only on the information above, the difference in James and Alex’s responses to the question is MOST consistent with what decision-making issue?

6)  Chrisjen and Roberta went to a concert at a new venue in their town.  As the concert ended, Chrisjen thought to herself that this new venue was way nicer than the previous venue in their town. She couldn’t think of a single thing wrong with it.  As they were driving home together, Roberta said, “That venue was nice. But it’s crazy that it already stinks like stale beer has been spilled all over the floor.”  Two weeks later Chrisjen’s friend Jakob asked her what she thought of the new concert venue.  Chrisjen said, “It’s great. Except the smell sort of bothered me. It already stinks a little bit like stale beer.”   Chrisjen’s altered memory is most consistent with what memory issue?

18)  Naomi and Camina are moving out of their college apartment and are trying to figure out what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw away.  They open up a drawer that hadn’t been opened for at least two years and see several keyrings.  Naomi pulls out a University of Wisconsin keyring and shows it to Camina.  Camina says, “I don’t even know where that came from. Maybe it came with the apartment.  We should just throw it away. I don’t think anyone would want that.”  They go through several more keyrings until they come to one that looks almost identical to the first University of Wisconsin keyring they had seen in the drawer.  Camina says, “Oh you know what? That one is mine. I got it sophomore year. I’m going to keep that.”  The fact that Camina felt the keyring that didn’t belong to her had no value (i.e., was garbage), but that the keyring that did belong to her was worth keeping is most consistent with what decision-making issue?
