Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The comment "put your best foot forward" suggests that George's mother is aware of the primacy effect, which is the tendency for people to remember information that is presented first. In this case, George's mother is reminding him to make a good first impression, which can have a significant impact on the outcome of the job interview. The other options (self-serving bias, self-attribution, false uniqueness effect) are all related to cognitive biases and are not directly relevant to the situation of a job interview.
