Answer 1

The most likely response from Writter and her team to the traditional theories discussed in the text would be 'A'. They would argue that the traditional theories are based on a misunderstanding about individuals' ability to manage attentional resources.

Answer 2

## Step 1The problem involves understanding the viewpoints of two different psychologists, one who believes in traditional theories about multitasking and another who has conducted her own research on the topic. The traditional theories suggest that people should struggle to multitask due to limited attentional resources. However, the psychologist who conducted her own research, Stohan Writter, has found that individuals' cognitive flexibility plays a significant role in their ability to multitask successfully.## Step 2The question asks us to infer how Writter and her team would respond to the traditional theories discussed in the text. The options provided suggest different ways in which Writter and her team might respond to these theories.## Step 3Option A suggests that Writter and her team would argue that the traditional theories are based on a misunderstanding about individuals' ability to manage attentional resources. This aligns with their own findings, which suggest that cognitive flexibility, not attentional resources, is the key to successful multitasking.## Step 4Option B suggests that Writter and her team would argue that external factors play a significant role in multitasking success. This is not consistent with their own findings, which focus on internal cognitive factors.## Step 5Option C suggests that Writter and her team would argue that their own research helps explain how individuals can improve their multitasking abilities through cognitive training. This is not consistent with their own findings, which focus on the role of cognitive flexibility in multitasking, not training.## Step 6Option D suggests that Writter and her team would argue that more psychologists should focus their research on how multitasking success is influenced by individual differences in attentional capacity. This is not consistent with their own findings, which focus on the role of cognitive flexibility in multitasking, not attentional capacity.
