Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

(1) It is critical to understand how people manage the sensory information that surrounds them. In order to understand the bits of information people receive, they must integrate and organize these bits in some way.
(2) Life involves a chain of decisions, both conscious and (more commonly) nonconscious. These decisions, and the irregularities in implicit decisions, have important implications for personality.
