Answer 2

Answer:

The correcr answer is: misinformation effect.

Explanation:

The shown situation is the exact example of the misinformation effect. This is proof that our memory is not very reliable, and less in very emotional and stressful situations (like this one).

A person suffers source amnesia when he/she cannot remember HOW he/she learned information, skill, etc.

The double bind is a situation when a person (or more people) gets two contradictory information and feels confused.
