Take a look at the screenshot below of the thesaurus for the subject heading ‘Imagination’ in PsycInfo. If I clicked ‘Explode’ when I searched for the subject heading ‘Imagination’, which terms would also be included?

Question

Explode searches include a subject heading plus its narrower (more specific) terms in the thesaurus hierarchy, so you retrieve the chosen heading and any entries listed under its "Narrower Terms."

1) Relevant concepts
- Thesaurus hierarchy: Broader Terms (BT) are more general, Narrower Terms (NT) are more specific, and Related Terms (RT) are conceptually related but neither broader nor narrower.
- "Explode" expands a search to include the selected heading and all NTs (the more specific child terms).

2) Step-by-step reading of the screenshot
- The entry for Imagination shows three labeled sections: [Broader Terms] (Cognitive Processes; Ideation), [Narrower Terms] (Counterfactual Thinking), and [Related Terms] (Conceptual Imagery; Fantasy [+NT]; Imagery [+NT]; Imaginal Exposure; Magical Thinking; Pretend Play; Vicarious Experiences).
- Only the items listed under [Narrower Terms] are included when you "explode" the heading.

3) Intermediate interpretation (no numeric calculations required)
- Imagination + Explode = Imagination itself + all Narrower Terms listed.
- The only Narrower Term shown is Counterfactual Thinking.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Because "Explode" pulls in NTs and the thesaurus displays Counterfactual Thinking as the sole NT for Imagination, exploding Imagination will include Counterfactual Thinking only (in addition to Imagination itself).

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- Option b (Cognitive Processes and Ideation): those are Broader Terms, not Narrower Terms — they would not be added by Explode.
- Option c (Conceptual imagery, fantasy, imagery, magical thinking, pretend play, vicarious experiences): these are listed as Related Terms (not NTs), so they are not included by Explode.
- Option d (None of these, just Imagination): incorrect because the Narrower Term Counterfactual Thinking would also be included when exploding.

6) Conclusion
- Therefore, exploding the subject heading Imagination would include Counterfactual Thinking only, confirming the correct answer is: ‘Counterfactual thinking’ only.

A 62.9 kg lady is standing on a weighing scale in an elevator as shown in the diagram below. Assume gravitational acceleration = 15 ms-2 Given that the elevator is accelerating upwards at 3.7 ms-2 , determine the magnitude of the normal force on the lady.

An object is fired from ground level at an angle of 31.9 degrees to the horizontal. Taking acceleration due to gravity = 7.65 ms-2 If the initial speed is 5.6 ms-1, how far from the starting point will it hit the ground? Assume air resistance is negligible.

Which of the following equations of motion would be used to calculate the displacement given the initial and final velocities as well as the acceleration?
