A buyer purchased a newly constructed house from a builder for use as a residence. The buyer did not perform an inspection of the house prior to the purchase. Neither the contract nor the deed contained any warranties as to the condition of the house. Six months later, during a heavy downpour, the basement flooded. Since that time, whenever there has been a substantial rain, there has been water in the basement. The source of the problem has been identified as several cracks in the foundation wall that surrounds the basement. An expert hired by the buyer has opined that the cracks formed due to settling after the home was built and could have been prevented by adherence to proper construction methods. The builder has repeatedly refused to address the problem. Just before the first anniversary of the purchase, the buyer filed suit against the builder for the defective foundation wall and the resulting damages. There are no applicable state statutes that address the issue. Who will prevail

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i. e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
