Thalha Sheriff · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  When people are primed with everyday pieces of information, that information tends to fade from memory at a constant rate. However, when people are primed with a goal, it induces tension and remains salient until an end-state is achieved. This reflects the difference in cognitive processing and motivational impact between passive information and goal-oriented information.
