- For the pictures below, click on a distorted picture. Can you figure
out what it is?
If not, click on the corresponding original picture. But don't click on
the original before you really
try to recognize the distorted picture. Once you see the original, you
can never go back to your
to your naive state again!
- Lab 2: Apparent
motion laboratory

- The
New and Improved Generic Lab with all of the materials (a set of
African-American and Caucassian faces, and scripting files for running
two IAT tasks)
(note, for Race Test 1, the task is to respond "1" to black
faces and positive words, and "2" to white faces and negative
words
For Race Test 2 the task is to respond "1" to black faces
and negative words, and "2" to white faces and positive words)
