Answer to Question 1

Answer: c.

Answer to Question 2

State dependent learning is a process where learning that takes place in one state of affect or consciousness is best recalled in the same state of affect or consciousness. Research has shown that if a memory is acquired in a state of fear, then in the future, it sometimes serves as a trigger for those memories that have become associated with that particular emotion. A person who behaves in a certain way, under certain conditions, but then later forgets the events, may have formed an autonomous cluster of memories associated with a particular state or emotional set. If this is the case, then the person has developed independent personalities that are themselves state dependent.
