SCENARIO:
Deema attended a workshop at her university. When she entered the hall, she tried to organize stimuli, people, or objects into specific groups. Her primary focus was on her classmates, and she ignored the strangers. The speaker asked the audience to form groups for an activity during the session. She joined a group of her age. She was unable to hear the entire talk between the group members due to loud sounds in the room. She observed the presenter holding hands, talking and laughing with a member of the management team. Deema concluded that they might be close friends.
