Explanation:

Question 4

Engaging in creative thinking (exercising the "creative muscle" of the mind) is often associated with positive emotions like pleasure, as it involves self - expression, problem - solving, and the generation of new ideas which can be rewarding.

According to Langer's work, mindlessness is characterized by routinized conformity and passive learning, where individuals act out of habit without much conscious thought or engagement. Compulsivity is about repetitive, uncontrollable behaviors, categorization is about grouping, and reflexive behavior is more like automatic responses (not related to passive learning/conformity in this context).

To create a richly fulfilling life, developing and using one's thinking potential (critical thinking, creativity, etc.) is important. It helps in making meaningful choices, solving problems, and pursuing goals. So the statement that one does not need to do so is false.

Answer:

True
