Question

In studies, improved academic performance was more closely associated with visualizing effective studying, rather than visualizing an a on the grade list, beaming with joy, and feeling proud. the latter is known as _____ simulation.

Answer 1

The latter is known as outcome simulation.
Outcome simulation obviously has to do with the results, or the outcome of a particular situation. So the outcome in this situation was visualizing an A on the grade list and feeling proud, but it was revealed that academic performance has to do with visualizing studying rather than the outcome itself.
