        • 45 student ps
        • video + critical q: HOW FAST WAS THE CAR GOING WHEN IT HITCONTACTED/BUMPED/SMASHED
          • smashed 40s vs contacted 31s (supports leading q)
        • EVALUATION
          • lab experiment-> lacks ecological validity (lacks emotional conditions of RL)
            • but well controlled
          • lacks pop validity
          • further r.s.-> DID YOU SEE THE/A BROKEN HEADLIGHT? 2x more likely yes to 'the'
            • 1w after diff students watched video, leading q w smashed more likely yes to broken headlight > hit
          • r.l app. to CI e.g. reinstate context, avoid leading q
