Three human participant experiments were designed and trials were conducted with five participants.
For this study, human participant experiments were conducted using the experimental economics method.
Using both between-participants (Experiment 1) and within-participant (Experiment 2) designs, we found converging evidence that subliminal exposure to the thin ideal increases body appearance anxiety in women.
Participants had been removed from the sample when technical problems had occurred during the recording or if they exhibited excessive EEG artifacts (less than 60% artifact free trials) (Experiment 1: two participants; Experiment 2: three participants; Experiment 3: four participants).
To further examine these ideas, we characterized the behavior of 46 normally-hearing young adult participants (Experiment 1), and found that 24% of them consistently perceived illusory discontinuity.
Our research hypothesis was to study the ERP patterns of observers and actors in a two-participant experiment elicited upon receiving feedback information of the actor's response.
Data from the medical professionals participants (Experiment 3) showed the same trends as the data from the student group (Experiment 1).
Over the next year, participants experimented with different designs and tested them.
The participants experimented two fitting strategies (linear vs. Wide Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC) in a double-blind design.
Here, two within-participant experiments are reported that measure the effect of familiarity on learning without the confound of these alternative effects.
