Researchers conducted mid- and end-point debriefing meetings during and after data collection to reflect and discuss procedures and interpretation of the results in order to ensure confirmability and consistency.
Debriefing for parts 1 4 of the experiment will occur at this point, and debriefing information for part 5 will be emailed to the participants after one week.
A controversial finding from previous studies is that healthy participants may perform successfully (i.e., above chance levels) on transitivity test trials, yet not exhibit conscious awareness (i.e., explicit knowledge) of the underlying hierarchy measured typically by questionnaires administered at the point of debriefing (e.g., Greene et al., 2001; Frank et al., 2005).

This debrief proved the point I made in my earlier review: that the real story was hidden in the tag which briefly mentioned the 10,000 "man camps" that have sprung up in the new boom town to accommodate those who find jobs but not housing.

Participants were also asked to consent to the use of their data, allowed to leave any answer blank, leave the survey at any point and shown a page of debriefing information at the end of the survey.
For the focus group and cognitive debriefing phase the 5-point Likert-like response category labels were adapted to an American-English format from the commonly used British-English form of the scale point labels.
Once these Games are over Idowu will also face a more significant debrief with UK Athletics, at which point the real story behind the bizarre Idowu-Idon'twu disappearance of the past 10 days will have to emerge.
