Read each of the following two statements - Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below :

Assertion (A) : People just coldly store and retrieve bits of data.
Reason (R) : Psychologists recognize that people reconstruct their own version of the past.
Codes :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • C.(A) is false, but (R) is true.
  • D.(A) is true, but (R) is false.

Answer: C

Assertion (A) is false: memory is not a cold storage and retrieval of bits of data, as it is a constructive process. Reason (R) is true: psychologists, such as Bartlett and Loftus, show that people reconstruct their own version of the past, and distort it with their beliefs and later information. So the assertion is false while the reason is true. The answer is (A) is false, but (R) is true.
