Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Maslow, cognitive needs refer to the desire for knowledge, understanding, and exploration of the environment. Emotionally healthy adults are motivated to improve their knowledge about unexplained events, which would align with the concept of cognitive needs. Option A is incorrect because physiological needs (such as food, water, and sleep) are considered to be the most fundamental needs, and cognitive needs are considered to be higher-order needs. Option B is incorrect because Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that safety needs come before cognitive needs in the hierarchy, but emotionally healthy adults may still have a desire for cognitive fulfillment. Option D is incorrect because the desire to explore mysterious events may be driven by cognitive needs.
