Adults often experience a gap between their present view of themselves and their memories of childhood. One possible reason for this gap is _____.
  1. The selective way we recall our personal histories
  2. The difficulty we have in seeing ourselves in the same way we view young children
  3. Memory loss
  4. That our past experiences are less important than our present
Explanation
Answer: A - The selective way we recall our personal histories is one possible reason for the gap adults experience between their present view of themselves and their memories of childhood. Neurologic research on memory encoding suggests memories are stored differently as children than as adults, leading to the possible gap in the way we see ourselves and our past.
