Which of the following is NOT a type of attention?

  1. Selective attention

  2. Divided attention

  3. Sustained attention

  4. Distributed attention


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Distributed attention is not a type of attention, but rather a way of describing how attention can be allocated to multiple tasks or stimuli.

Which of the following is NOT a type of memory?

  1. Short-term memory

  2. Long-term memory

  3. Working memory

  4. Sensory memory


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sensory memory is not a type of memory, but rather a temporary store for sensory information.

Which of the following is NOT a stage of the problem-solving process?

  1. Problem identification

  2. Solution generation

  3. Solution evaluation
