adaptation energy, adaptive response modes and adaptive response behaviors

Question 22

Theory of Occupational Adaptation suggests that individuals use adaptation energy at either primary or secondary level of cognitive awareness

Answer 22

Adaptation Energy

Question 23

this will be used if the individual is at a high level of cognitive awareness when attempting to generate an adaptive response

Answer 35

Answer 37

Adaptation gestalt

Question 38

Answer 38

Evaluation sub process

Question 39
