Aisha, a 30-year-old project manager, works in a high-stress environment where she makes dozens of decisions daily. By late afternoon, she often feels mentally exhausted and starts making impulsive choices or delaying decisions altogether. She began skipping her meals, neglecting exercise, and found it harder to concentrate on tasks. Aisha's supervisor suggested that she meet an organizational psychologist. Through consultation, Aisha learned that she was experiencing decision fatigue, a condition where cognitive resources are depleted after too many choices. The psychologist helped her apply time management strategies, prioritize self-care and use chunking to reduce mental load. She also began practicing mindfulness meditation to restore her focus. After some months, Aisha reported improved mental clarity, better decision making, and less stress.

Q4.

ACognitive load BImplicit memory CStereotype threat DOperant behavior

As advised by the Psychologist, chunking strategy helps in:

AEncouraging multi-tasking BImproving attention CBreaking tasks into manageable parts DBreaking time into parts to achieve success

Q7.

Which one of the following are the reasons for forgetting?

Jeevan, a twelve-year-old boy, was brought to the psychologist because he hated school. When the teacher was contacted, she informed that Jeevan was unpopular in the class because of his show-off behaviour that even disrupted the class. Apparently, the parents at home used to find such behaviour entertaining and laughed and enjoyed it. The psychologist drew out a programme to bring a change in Jeevan's behaviour. She first helped the parents to understand what is show-off behaviour and what is not. His parents were instructed by the psychologist to avoid paying attention to Jeevan's show-off behaviour; the teacher was instructed to praise other children whenever anyone helped a classmate in any way. The psychologist also added that each time Jeevan manifested show-off behaviour, the loud noise of bore-well digging be played to him by the teacher. In fact, the psychologist used therapeutic interventions.
