MCQ Answer
A. a strong negative correlation
B. a curvilinear relationship
C. a strong positive correlation
D. virtually no correlation
Correct
Explanation
Psychological research consistently demonstrates that subjective confidence is a poor predictor of objective memory accuracy. People can be highly confident in false memories, and conversely, they may be uncertain about accurate ones. This lack of correlation is a critical finding in eyewitness testimony research, highlighting the fallibility of human memory.

virtually no correlation
