Stress is a common occurrence. While you can’t remove every single stressor from your life, it’s possible to manage
stress and maintain your health. This is important because stress can cause mental fatigue, irritability, and insomnia. But
even if you know the physical effects of stress, you may be unaware of the different stages of stress, known as general
adaptation syndrome (GAS). When you understand the different stages of stress and how the body responds in these
stages, it’s easier to identify signs of chronic stress in yourself.
Selye found that over time, resistance to stress can cause the body to become exhausted. As a result of weakened
resistance, the body is more susceptible to inflammatory diseases, chronic fatigue, and a shorter life.

Question No. 32 to 33 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [3]
The PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Successive cognitive processing) theory of intelligence identifies
three operational units that are important to understanding mental functioning: attention, simultaneous and successive
processing, and planning. The PASS THEORY of intelligence has been developed by J.P Das, Jack Naglieri, and Kirby
(1994). They proposed that three functional units of the brain determine the intellectual activity of an individual. These
three units are responsible for planning, arousal/attention and simultaneous/Successive processing These PASS
processes are interactive in nature yet each has its own distinctive functions.

32. What is the full form of the pass model? Who developed this model? (1)
33. What is simultaneous processing? When does it take place? (2)
