"I really want to believe that my vague recollection of an incident that occurred at Disneyland as a preschooler is true, but that doesn’t mean that it is true." Which of the following critical thinking guidelines does this example illustrate?

Respuesta :

Answer: Option D

Emotional reasoning is a cognitive process by which the person concludes that emotional reaction proved that something is true regardless of the observed evidence.
