Answer:

a. Mass hysteria

Explanation:

Mass hysteria In sociology and psychology, is a phenomenon that transmits collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population in society due to what they heard (rumors) and/or fear.

Answer: 1- Short term Memory 2-Rehearsing.

Explanation: Short-term memory is the cognitive ability that allows individuals to hold information as available for a while.

A common example of short-term memory is for instance when someone tells us a phone number and we remember it for a short period until we save it on our phone.

After a while, we forget the number because it was information held in short-term memory.

To maintain this information in the short term memories one has to use certain techniques.

Those techniques imply rehearsing said information to maintain that information for a longer period.

In this particular case, the information was lost from the short-term memory because the phone conversation distracted from rehearsing the information.
