Alternatively, students in research methods lab could work in small groups running the same experiment. Might be easiest to put the questions on 3 x 5 cards for administration.

Have a large group do it with the math. Have another large group do it without the math. Have another large group do it with some other fairly heavy but non-mathematical task (perhaps "count the letters 't' in this sentence"). I imagine there'd be slightly different frequencies of "red hammer" across the groups. I would also look at the frequencies of oddball responses: things like "purple t-square", for example. I'd predict a lot more of those in the no-task group, and an effect that was less subtle than the "red hammer" effect (because that might not be the clear prototypes for everyone).
----- Original Subject: test
At the end of this, you are asked a question.
Answer it immediately. Don't
stop and think about it.
Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.
Fun Test...This is kind
of spooky! If you do not believe this, pass it
around and you'll see.
Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among
the 98% or the 2% and
send to everyone, including the person that sent it
to you. Amazing
test...just follow the instructions as quickly as
possible. Do not go to
the next calculation before you have finished the
previous one. You do not
need to write or remember the answers, just do it
using your mind.
You'll be surprised.
Start:
How much is . . :
15 + 6
3 + 56
89 + 2
12 + 53
75 + 26
25 + 52
63 + 32
I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly
over. Come on, one
more..
123 + 5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL AND A COLOR!
Scroll further to the bottom..
A bit more...
You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you?
