    Which of the following is not part of the cognitive faculty of the mind? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not part of the cognitive faculty of the mind?

    • Memory

    • Walking

    • Judgement

    • Thinking

    Correct Answer
    A. Walking
    Explanation
    Walking is not part of the cognitive faculty of the mind because it is a physical activity controlled by the motor system, rather than a mental process involving perception, memory, judgment, or thinking. Cognitive faculties refer to the mental abilities and processes involved in acquiring, processing, and using information, while walking is a bodily movement that is governed by the motor system.

    • Sigmund Freud

    • Carl Jung

    • Carl Rogers

    Correct Answer
    A. Sigmund Freud
    Explanation
    Sigmund Freud believed that what is unpleasant is in the unconscious mind. Freud developed the psychoanalytic theory, which suggests that our unconscious mind holds repressed thoughts, desires, and memories that influence our behavior.

Freud's theories had a significant impact on the field of psychology and his ideas about the unconscious mind continue to be influential today.

    • Plasma

    • Medication

    • Placebo

    Correct Answer
    A. Placebo

    A placebo is used to make patients think they are taking actual medicines. A placebo is an inactive substance or treatment that has no therapeutic effect. It is often used in clinical trials as a control group to compare the effects of the actual medication being tested.

    Psychology is the scientific study of the mind, behavior, and mental processes. It focuses on understanding and explaining various aspects of human and animal behavior, such as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, and social interactions. Through research and experimentation, psychologists aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms and processes that influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions. This field encompasses a wide range of sub-disciplines, including cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, and clinical psychology, among others.

    Which of the following will not help boost mental power? - ProProfs

    Which of the following will not help boost mental power?

    • Memory game

    • Staying in comfort zone

    • Speed games

    • Sitting in silence

    Correct Answer
    A. Staying in comfort zone
    Explanation
    Staying in the comfort zone refers to remaining in familiar and easy situations, which does not challenge the mind or stimulate cognitive abilities. On the other hand, memory games, speed games, and sitting in silence all involve mental engagement and can help boost mental power. Therefore, staying in the comfort zone is the only option that will not contribute to enhancing mental abilities.

    Through what process can one's mind be made receptive to a suggestion? - ProProfs

    Through what process can one's mind be made receptive to a suggestion?

    • Empathy

    • Hypnosis

    • Psychology

    • Telekinesis

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypnosis
    Explanation
    Hypnosis is the process through which one's mind can be made receptive to a suggestion. During hypnosis, a person enters a state of deep relaxation and heightened focus, allowing them to be more open to suggestions. The hypnotist uses various techniques to induce this state, such as guided imagery, relaxation exercises, and suggestions. By bypassing the conscious mind and directly accessing the subconscious, hypnosis can help individuals become more receptive to positive suggestions and behavioral changes.

    Explanation
    Sleeping is not known as a mental power because it is a natural physiological process that allows the body to rest and rejuvenate. While the mind may be active during dreams, the act of sleeping itself does not involve any conscious mental abilities or powers. It is a necessary bodily function for maintaining overall health and well-being.

    • Physiology

    • Psychosis

    • Telepathy

    Correct Answer

People who claim to have psychokinetic abilities believe that they can manipulate objects, such as moving them, lifting them, or even bending them, without any physical contact. This concept has been widely explored in fiction and paranormal research, although there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of psychokinesis.
