> They then told the students to go up the hallway to a different room where there would be another test. What the students didn't know was that the test was actually in the hallway; the time it took each participant to walk down the hall was measured. It turned out that the students who had been exposed to the "elderly words" walked more slowly down the hall. Attendees might be inclined to call that "absolute crap", Brady suggested, but it is not, it is repeatable and even has a name, "the Florida effect", because Florida was used as one of the words associated with the elderly. I haven't ready widely on this, but from what little I have, most attempts at reproducing this and other priming experiments have failed.
