Mental processes are more objective than behaviour, so require fewer controls.

B

Mental processes are inferred from behaviour or reports, not directly observed.

C

Mental processes are directly observed through behaviour, without interpretation.

D

Mental processes are measured without self-report bias, unlike observable behaviour.
