Explanation / Answer

19) Option A is the right answer

Explanation: - The reticular formation plays a central role in the regulation of the state of consciousness and arousal like alertness and sleep. It has projections to the thalamus and cerebral cortex that allow it to exert some control over which sensory signals reach the cerebrum and come to our conscious attention.

20) Option B is the Right Answer.

Explanation: Recent studies have shown that imbalances in serotonin levels can trigger depression.

21) Option B is the Right answer

Explanation: Unconscious Processing is the processing of perception, memory, learning, thought, and language without being aware of it.

22) The Option C is the right answer.

Explanation: Sequential processing is the processing that occurs in sequence. Sequential processing is our ability to take in, store, process and use information in an orderly way. It is important in everyday life. It is more conscious and better for solving novel problems.

23) Option C i.e. selective attention is the correct option

Explanation: The pop-out phenomenon also known as pop-out effect occurs when a visual stimulus that is comprised of differing components has mostly similar looking objects but one differing object that 'pops-out' or stands out very noticeably from the other objects in the visual field.
