question 5

Multiple Choice

In a memory experiment, participants were shown a form that could be interpreted in more than one way. Half the participants were told, "Here is a picture of the sun." Other participants were told, "Here is a picture of a ship's steering wheel." Some time later, participants were asked to draw the exact form they had seen earlier. The data indicate that:

• A) participants' visual memories were distinct from their verbal memories, so participants were uninfluenced by the labels
• B) participants' drawings were biased in a fashion that reflected the labels that the participants had been given earlier
• C) the labels had called attention to the ambiguity of the figures, leading to improved memory accuracy
• D) participants were able to remember only the labels, not the drawings
