Herb, a tennis player, has been struggling to develop a more consistent serve. he made the following remark to his partner during the second set of a recent match: "i feel like i'm making progress. i haven't double-faulted once today." he then served two double-faults, which caused him to say, "every time i say i haven't double-faulted, i immediately start to." herb's perception may have been influenced by:

It may have been influenced by the fact he said he was making improvements and specifically stated he wasn't serving double-fault.
