In the conformity as agreement paradigm,Solomon Asch demonstrated that a
subject can be influenced to alter his opinion about the equivalence
of lines if pressured by the conspiracy of other participants.
Have there been other similar types of experiments involving other
variables besides comparing three lines to a standard line?.
Btw,I have been toying with the idea with a levitation paradigm:
If confederate subjects convince a naive subject that a certain
individual levitates,will this subject go against his perceptual
acuity and admit to the perceptual deviance of levitation?
