Students must establish that Annabelle’s decision-making processes or her choices about college, or

both, are influenced by information that comes most readily to mind (e.g., “pops into her mind,” “first

thing she thinks of,” “automatically,” “immediately”).

Notes

• The example must include a cognitive component.

• The emphasis must be on the “immediacy” of the solution, not why it comes to mind. Recency,

vividness, or distinctiveness, without a reference to “immediacy,” does not score.

Examples

Do not score
