Answer to Question 1

B
Synesthesia is the blending of senses, such as smelling a color or tasting a sound. Formication is the sensation of bugs crawling under the skin. Confabulation is making up stories to cover memory deficit. Piloerection is commonly called goose bumps.

Answer to Question 2

A
TBI produces multiple cognitive problems that are likely to interfere with memory and learning. Many persons with these injuries have difficulty excluding sensory stimuli, which impairs concentration and attention span. Background music would further impair concentration. Caffeine would increase stimulation but not improve cognitive processing. Deep breathing is helpful for producing relaxation for anyone, but it would not support memory and learning.
