Answer to Question 1

D
Increased acetylcholine plays a role in learning and memory. Preventing destruction of acetylcholine by acetylcholinesteras e would result in higher levels of acetylcholine, with the potential for improved memory. GABA is known to affect anxiety level rather than memory. Increased dopamine would cause symptoms associated with schizophrenia or mania rather than improve memory. Decreasing dopamine at receptor sites is associated with Parkinson's disease rather than improving memory.

Answer to Question 2

B
Interpersonal therapists assess for current difficulties in the patient's relationships with others. Learning new, more effective interpersonal skills becomes a goal of therapy. Psychoanalytic therapists focus on intrapsychic conflicts. The other options are not the focus of the model.
