Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

Deception withholds or misstates a study's purpose during participation; debriefing discloses it fully afterward.

Show

Participants told they are testing memory learn at the end that the confederate beside them was part of the design.

Watch for

Debriefing does not make deception costless. It makes deception reviewable, which is the standard it must meet.
