After painful medical procedures,people's memory snapshots tend to overlook

A) the final moments of pain associated with the procedure.
B) the peak moments of pain associated with the procedure.
C) the total duration of the pain associated with the procedure.
D) all of these periods of pain.

People's memory snapshots after painful medical procedures often overlook the total duration of the pain, focusing instead on the peak or end moments of pain. This is known as the peak-end rule, where individuals judge an experience largely based on how they felt at its peak (most intense point) and at its end, rather than the total sum of every moment of the experience.
