It wasn't until Clara heard some of her classmates laughing loudly during history class that she began to perceive the professor's ongoing lecture to be very funny.This provides an illustration of

A) Weber's law.
B) sensory adaptation.
C) context effects.
D) subliminal messaging.

Clara's perception of the professor's ongoing lecture being funny was influenced by the context of her classmates laughing, which altered her interpretation of the lecture. This demonstrates context effects, which refer to how the context in which a stimulus is presented can influence our perception and interpretation of it. Weber's law refers to our ability to detect changes in stimuli relative to their initial level of intensity; sensory adaptation refers to our tendency to become less responsive to constant or repetitive stimuli over time; and subliminal messaging refers to the presentation of stimuli below the level of conscious awareness, which can affect our behavior without us realizing it. None of these concepts are illustrated in this scenario.
