The Perky Experiment (2014)
- jnordwick 9y agoFake science. > For example, some subjects were asked to imagine a New York skyline whilst a faint image of a tomato was projected on the screen. Several of them failed to notice the tomato, but reported imagining New York at sunset (Segal, 1972). When I was reading this, I immediately thought of NYC at sunset too. Maybe it is something like because I live in NYC and you are more likely to remember things with emotional content, but the links described seem awfully tenuous. Why doesn't psychology use double blind studies like medicine?
