Answer to Question 1

Answer: The cognitive response model postulates that the type and amount of self-talk determine the extent to which persuasion occurs. More positive self-talk produces more persuasion, whereas more negative self-talk (including counterarguments that challenge and oppose the persuasive message) should decrease persuasion.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The continuous interrogation prevented Reilly from having the time to develop counterarguments to the police's claims, and lack of sleep and food probably left him too exhausted, mentally and physically, to be able to develop counterarguments.
