Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This test is assessing John's ability to recall information from memory, as he is asked to list all the objects he remembers after they have been covered. Recognition (B) refers to the ability to identify familiar information when it is presented again, but in this task, John is not being shown the objects again to identify. Mastery motivation (A) is unrelated to this task, as it refers to the drive to master new skills or challenges. Symbolic function (D) refers to the ability to mentally represent objects, which is also not being assessed in this task.
