Answer to Question 1

C
The process of organizing and interpreting stimuli depends on a person's level of intellectual functioning. The intellectual ability to think is called cognition. Sensation and perception use the afferent nerve pathways, the ascending pathways that transmit sensory impulses to the brain; the efferent nerve pathways, the descending pathways that send sensory impulses from the brain; the spinal cord; the brainstem; and the cerebrum. Cognition includes the cerebral functions of memory, affect, judgment, perception, and language. The person must be conscious for these higher functions to occur.
