Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Freud proposed that personality was formed by about the age of 5 and was subject to little change after that. However, although there is no denying that our first 5 years of life affect our personality, it is now obvious that personality continues to develop well beyond that time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Much research on the nature of the unconscious involves subliminal perception in which stimuli are presented to people below their level of conscious awareness. The word subliminal derives from sub, meaning below, and limen, meaning threshold.
