Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When only one choice looks like it could be correct among dissimilar distractors, it can lead to a false sense of recognition. This happens because the brain recognizes some similarities between the presented information and the previously stored memory or knowledge, leading to the feeling that the presented information is familiar and must be the correct answer. This effect is known as the false recognition phenomenon.
