In order to find a ballpark in a strange town, a player stops at a local gas station to get directions. the attendant tells the player, "go to the stoplight, take a right, go two blocks, take a left, and the park will be a mile down the road on the left.". the player then gets in her car and tries to remember the directions while driving to the park. the player is demonstrating the use of aworking memory. b. psychomotor speed. c. cross-linking. d. transient ischemia.

A. working memory

Explanation:

Hi! The player is using the working memory, which is the ability to keep information in the "head" to be able to use it while, for example, he is driving. In order to remember how to get there, he applied a set of processes that allows him to save and process the information in a short period of time. This type of memory integrates new information that has occurred in a short time, such as directions on how to get to the ballpark.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)

dude the first thing it says is that copied answers will get a zero. plus it would take anyone on an incredibly long time to answer. ive seen 2 people asking the exact same question and their questions got taken down. i have the assignment too, and im in the progress of doing it. i suggest going to a more private website, because this is the first place teachers look.
