Question

Sebastian Tovar Blanco · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The fact that people listening to sad music are more likely to perceive a spoken word as mourning rather than morning suggests that their perception is influenced by top-down processing. Top-down processing refers to the use of pre-existing knowledge and expectations to interpret sensory information, and in this case, the sad music may have primed people to expect words related to sadness rather than happiness. The other options - sensory adaptation, subliminal stimuli, and Weber's law - are not directly relevant to this phenomenon.
