Question
In a study by John Bargh on this phenomenon, subjects walked more slowly out of an elevator after hearing words like “Florida” and “bingo.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this phenomenon in which a stimulus unconsciously influences one’s later thinking or behavior, as when seeing the word EAT makes one more likely to auto-fill SO_P (“S O blank P”) as soup.
ANSWER: priming [accept behavioral priming or social priming or semantic priming]
[10h] The EAT example is discussed in a 2011 book by this psychologist, which also uses the words “banana” and “vomit” to demonstrate a cognitive system that acts as an “associative machine.”
ANSWER: Daniel Kahneman (Kahneman outlined Systems 1 and 2 in Thinking Fast and Slow.)
[10e] Description acceptable. Kahneman later criticized behavioral priming studies for failing this scientific standard, in which an experiment can be repeated by later authors with similar results.
ANSWER: replicability [or accept word forms like replication or reproducible; accept reproducibility or repeatability; accept any answers involving replicating or repeating or reproducing a study]
