PrepTest 94+, Section 2, Question 22
Researcher: Experiences that are accompanied by increased secretions of adrenaline—a hormone produced in situations involving fear—tend to be remembered more clearly than experiences not so accompanied. Thus, the details of frightening experiences tend to be remembered more clearly than do the details of nonfrightening experiences.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the researcher's argument?
Some experiences are so intense that an individual's normal tendency to retain the details of them is reversed.
An individual will tend to remember most clearly those details of a situation that are relevant to the satisfaction of desires.
Highly pleasurable experiences are, like frightening experiences, accompanied by increased levels of adrenaline.
Frightening experiences make up only a small fraction of experiences in general.
If an individual perceives a dangerous situation as nonfrightening, then the experience of that situation will not be accompanied by increased adrenaline secretions.
