2. Basic Method: • You have 3 training blocks, and 2 critical blocks of trials: • 1)Congruent block (if you are a Democrat)where you press one button for a GOOD evaluation and a certain personality attribute, like Democrat. You press another button for a BAD evaluation and another attribute, Republican. • 2)Incongruent block in which GOOD goes with Republican and BAD with Democrat.

3. The Key Measurement: RT • You are expected to be faster on congruent block because you must pause to equate GOOD with Republican… • Of course, if you are a Republican, the meanings of congruent and incongruent are reversed. • This test should reveal your true attitudes, and there is a great deal of support. • Go to paper to show results.

6. Verschuere et al. show that test is beatable… • …by learning to increase RT to congruent associations—slowing down. • Agosta & Sartori come back and say “we can catch you doing this.” • So we got into the act: Hu, Rosenfeld & Bodenhausen : Psych Science, in press. Trained Ps to speed up incongruent trials:
