Answer 1

Answer:d. misinformation effect paradigm

Step-by-step explanation:

The misinformation effect occurs when the information introduced after the incident we had experienced changes what we remember about that incident or event, the new information no matter how small or unnoticeable it is but as it get introduced to use after that incident it tends to interfere with want we remember. The misinformation effect disrupt the accuracy of what we recall about an event or incident , it goes to show how easily our ability to remember things that occured in the past can be altered just by introducing a new information.

Benito got cut by glasses however post this event his mom has introduced this new information which suggests that he was bitten by a dog due to that his memory has been influenced towards believing that he was really bitten by a dog.
