Question

what do the findings of ropers experiment suggest? a both adults and teens are distracted by rewards, which affects their response speed. b teens are less easily distracted by rewards than adults, which helped them to do better to the task. c teens are more easily distracted, even when they dont gain a reward. d teens reacted differently to the task because they were not able to remember their previous training.

Explanation:

Roper's experiment on reward distraction found that adolescents (teens) show greater distractibility from reward cues compared to adults, even when the reward is no longer obtainable. Option A is incorrect because the experiment highlights a difference between teens and adults, not a shared distraction effect impacting response speed equally. Option B is wrong as teens are more easily distracted, not less. Option D is incorrect because memory of prior training was not the key variable in the experiment's findings.

Answer:

C. Teens are more easily distracted, even when they don't gain a reward.
