Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The assumption that individuals have limited resources that must be spread over different mental tasks is consistent with the study of mental processes, as it suggests that there are constraints on how much mental processing can be done at any given time, and that multiple tasks may compete for the same resources. The other options do not necessarily reflect commonly held assumptions within the field of studying mental processes.
