b. Halo effect
c. Self-presentation effect

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D.

Explanation: Self-reference effect refers to people’s tendency to better remember information when that information has been linked to the self than when it has not been linked to the self. In research on the self-reference effect, people are presented with a list of adjectives and are asked to judge each word given a particular instruction.
