Sue,
Good example, but wouldn't this "treatment" fall under the category
of, "someone's going to believe it actually works". On the other
hand, someone's going to believe just about anything works so I guess
there's no avoiding this (I understand there are still people who
believe that the Earth is flat). An additional piece to my request
which I forgot to mention is that I want to show how a testing effect
and regression toward the mean work. So I'd need to do a hypothetical
study in which I could give out a pretest in which some participants
score very poorly. So some kind of bogus teaching or learning
strategy would probably be best. Hey! How about subliminal tapes!
That might do the trick....
Thanks,
Michael
PS: I like the 9-year old author on a JAMA article. I wonder if that
has ever happened in an APA journal?

I particularly like this one because a 9 year old was 2nd author on
the JAMA article (April 1, 1998): http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/279/13/1005
