PSYC 288 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Thermographic Camera
Document Summary
Not everyone acts the same war so it is hard to have a generalized classi cation for human behavior. Advantages: people view scienti c studies as more objects than just assuming human interaction. Disadvantages: very dif cult to measure human behavior. Barg, chen and burrows unobtrusively bring the idea of being old to the mind of the participants. Scrambled words into a sentence and told people to nd the word that didn"t t. the word that didn"t t was either associated with being old, or it wasn"t. Then as the participants left the study a lab assistant would measure the walking speed with stop watches. Those who were primed as being old walked slower than those who were not primed. Failed to replicate when an infrared sensor was used to measure the walking speeds instead of a stop watch. Human error when using the stop watches with the lab assistants.
