Answer 1

(Since you have posted multiple questions, I am going to answer first three. I hope it helps Thanks !)

1. The correct answer is option C. In most mammals vestibular sense is the sensory system that provides the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance.

2. The correct answer is option e. Selective attention is simply the act of focusing on a particular object for a period of time while simultaneously ignoring irrelevant information that is also occurring.

3. The correct answer is option B. Proactive Interference is when you memorize a list of information and when remembering a later part of the list, an earlier memorized part of the list gets in the way.
