Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Selectivity Hypothesis suggests that people selectively attend to certain aspects of a situation or event, and selectively retain and memorize some of this information. This can lead to errors in recall, as people may remember only some details while forgetting others, or may recall information that was not actually present in the original event due to the influence of their expectations or beliefs. Therefore, the best choice is A, selective recall, as this is a key aspect of the Selectivity Hypothesis.
