Experiment: is the word ‘simply’ counter-productive?
Experiment: Find a task that can be completed in ~3 mins
- Group A (control): “On the next slide, you’ll be asked to complete a task”
- Group B: “On the next slide, you’ll be asked to complete a simple task”
- Group C: “On the next slide, you’ll be asked to complete a tricky task”
How does the inclusion of the word “simple” or “tricky” affect the success rate in the task?
