Answer 1

Answer:

A phenomenon that demonstrates this selectivity is called perceptual set.

Explanation:

Perceptual set is the tendency one has to see what he/she wants to see. To view things a certain way, ignoring other details regarding it. It can be due to the individual's sensitivity towards certain information.

In this case, we can see people are selective about what they attend to and understand, not seeing the full picture but rather what they want to see.
