Noreen is turning over a card with a large "5" on it to make sure there isn't a vowel on the other side. Noreen is taking part in a research study of __________.

A) the availability heuristic
B) syllogistic reasoning
C) selection task performance
D) the representativeness heuristic

Noreen is performing a selection task where she has to identify whether there is a vowel on the other side of the card. The task is designed to test her selection task performance. The availability heuristic involves estimating the probability of an event based on how easily examples come to mind, and it is not relevant to this scenario. Syllogistic reasoning involves drawing a conclusion based on two premises, and it is also not relevant here. The representativeness heuristic involves making judgments based on how well an event or object represents a particular category or prototype, and it is not relevant to this scenario.
