Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mental set refers to a person's predisposition to perceive or respond to stimuli in a certain way, which is influenced by prior experiences and is often outside of conscious awareness. This aligns with the description in option B, which talks about preliminary orientations toward stimuli that influence a subject's associations without being in the forefront of conscious thought.
