Randall believes that aliens crashed in the western United States in the 1950s.

This is an example of ___.

Confirmation bias.

Explanation:

In psychology, the term confirmation bias refers to a type of bias where the person only looks for or pays attention to the information that will confirm the belief they already have. Therefore, they don't consider any information that would contradict their belief.

In this example, Randall believes that aliens crashed in the States in the 1950's. When he looks for information he ignores sites that are skeptical about this and only visits and talks with his friends about the sites that support his belief. We can see that he is not considering the information that would contradict his belief and he is only looking for information that supports it. Therefore, this would be an example of confirmation bias.

moors is essentially another word for muslims.

the moors invaded spain around year 700, during their time ruling spain the muslims promoted religious tolerance (moors tolerated jews who were viewed as outcasts by northerners), the moors as well had a great impact on their language, and architecture (palaces were created).
