A researcher studying decision-making asks participants to recall how they arrived at a specific choice in a moral dilemma. One participant says, "I carefully weighed both options," but later their physiological data shows they had an immediate emotional reaction before making a decision. What does this discrepancy suggest about introspection?

• Introspection provides a fully accurate account of cognitive processes.

• People can always access and report the true causes of their decisions.

• Introspection is sometimes limited because cognitive processes are not always consciously accessible.

• Physiological data is unnecessary when studying decision-making.
