I've been enjoying Kahnemann's book - lots of interesting discussions of

and others' work. But then I got to a section where he talks about the
study
where some college students were asked to make sentences out of "old" words
(forgetful, old lonely) while others made sentences out of neutral words.
The
students who had the "old" words walked more slowly down the hall.
I thought this study was debunked? I could have sworn I saw/heard a
discussion
in which it was said that the results could not be replicated. Anyone
know?

Life and research are complicated. The key point to remember is that the
issues involved here have not been resolved but that has not stopped people
from taking sides. Which reminds me of an old Zen saying"
"Those who talk, don't know; those that know, don't talk."
I await Scott L's response. ;-)
