We are more likely to recall adjectives if asked how well they describe us than if asked how well they describe someone else.This illustrates

A) automatic processing.
B) distributed practice.
C) the self-reference effect.
D) echoic memory.

The self-reference effect is the phenomenon where we tend to remember information better if we can relate it to ourselves. In this case, when asked to describe adjectives that describe us, we are more likely to remember those adjectives compared to when we are asked to describe adjectives that describe someone else. This is because self-referencing enhances encoding and retrieval of information.
