Matt, Mandy, and Will are seniors at the same high school who decide to form a band. Matt and Mandy have been playing their instruments since they were five years old and are exceptionally good. They make very few errors when they play their band’s songs in rehearsal. Will only started to learn his instrument in the past six months. While he can usually make it through the band’s songs without making too many errors in rehearsal, he usually makes a few. Matt, Mandy, and Will are asked to play a song for a school pep rally. Matt and Mandy play their parts flawlessly – better than they ever had in rehearsal. Will on the other hand, struggles a ton – making more errors than he typically did in rehearsal. This scenario is most consistent with what psychological phenomenon?
