Good idea, im doing the effect of leadin questions into EWT

[katwaggy]

Hi I am going to be doing a similar thing I was just wondering what question you used for the coarsework? did you ask how quickly it popped?

[nikhay9]

I asked them to rate on a scale of one to ten how loud the balloon was when it popped/exploded, with those in the "exploded" group rated it higher. =]

[rjckicks1]

so how did your results come to and what overall grade?

[nikhay9]

The results ended up being similar to the Loftus study, with the more emotive word creating a higher rating. I think for my grade I got a B overall. =]

what was your experiment?
