Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheral cues are elements that influence an individual's attitude or response to a message without engaging in deep processing of the actual content. Option C, which involves evaluating the statistics cited by the speaker and their implications on year-to-year temperatures, requires engagement with the content of the lecture and involves central processing rather than being influenced by superficial or peripheral aspects of the presentation.
