Parents seldom spend a lot of time explaining to their children how to ride a bicycle. Instead, they often get a bike with training wheels and let the children learn for themselves how to ride a bike.

This is because our understanding about how to ride a bicycle is based on

a. automatic thinking, which is difficult to describe to someone else.
b. controlled thinking that can only be learned by experience.
c. intuition, which is difficult to express in language that a child can understand.
d. personal experience that is not likely to be believed by the child.

Question 2

The way that automatic and controlled thinking tend to work together can be best compared to a

a. computer graphics system that relies on both bitmap (pixel by pixel) and vector (mathematically generated line) images.
b. modern jet system that can fly on automatic pilot but also has a manual override.
c. car that can drive in either four-wheel or two-wheel drive.
d. deciduous tree that has leaves in spring through fall but is bare in the winter.
