Re: search term

I'm thinking that we'll say carrot regardless of what we do before it.  This is typically part of one of those "mind reading" emails that floats around.  A magician in NYC had a great show in which he did a ton of "mind reading" stuff and was quick to point out it was all based on the psychology of decision making.  Pretty impressive, actually.  This doesn't fit into the typical decision making research that comes to my mind, but you may start there.    Patrick   ******************************** Patrick O.

What is 2 + 4) and then asked to name a vegetable the most frequent response is "carrot". I'm sure that there is some literature on this phenomenon but I can't think of a really good search term to use in Psych abstracts. Any help?   Thanks a lot,   -Don. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
