Question

Before buying her new phone, Gina listed the various requirements her new phone must meet. As a wedding planner, much of her work revolves around using e-mail to forward pictures of locations, designs, and food arrangements that she could categorize by themes and prices. She requires a phone with high storage capacity, speedy Internet, and easy-to-use methods to organize and save content. After listing these requirements, she fixed a budget and began surveying phones online. She also obtained information from friends. In a week's time, Gina had shortlisted three models that suited her needs and was ready to make the final choice. Gina used ________ to arrive at this decision.

Answer 1

Controlled processing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking that is conscious, intentional, voluntary and effortful.

Is a detailed consideration of evidence and information relying on facts, figures, and logic. Requires effort and energy, but it’s harder to fool someone who engages in it.

Characteristics:

- usually initiated intentionally.

- often occurs slowly.

- operate with conscious control (usually).

- require attention to execute them.

In other words, we actually have to think about what is going on and make decisions. We are in 'control' of these processes. For example, when we first learned how to ride a bike, we had to pay attention to what we were doing. We had to be consciously aware of where the brakes were, where the pedals are located, how to stop, how to steer the bike, etc.
