Despite what many have heard and have believed for many years, NASA may not have invented Velcro. In 1941, well before NASA, a Swiss electrical engineer named George de Mestral noticed how easily cockle burs attached to his dog's fur. He supposedly modeled the Velcro after the tiny hooks in the bur that so easily catch onto clothing and fur. Even though there is evidence that Dr. Mestral actually invented Velcro, Tim believes the NASA version of the invention story. This is a case of which of the following?
A. fundamental attribution error
B. blindering
C. closure
D. schemata
