Diane, Rory, and Linda are working on a research project for the science fair. They have discussed many ideas and have finally come up with an interesting study. Their teacher, Ms. Peterson, asks them who came up with the idea for their project

Diane answers, "No one person came up with the idea—we all had the idea!" This is an example of
A) socially shared cognition.
B) intelligence.
C) the psychometric approach.
