In a study called "Mommy and I are one," ____ presentation of certain stimuli influences cognitive as well as emotional responses.

A) suppressive
B) conscious
C) variable activation
D) subliminal

The study title "Mommy and I are one" suggests a strong emotional connection between the mother and child, which is likely to involve unconscious or implicit processes. Therefore, the presentation of certain stimuli in a subliminal manner (i.e., below the threshold of conscious awareness) is likely to influence both cognitive and emotional responses, supporting the idea that "Mommy and I are one" at an unconscious level.
