Participants were shown events leading up to a car accident. This included a slide showing a red sports car at a STOP or a Yield junction.
After watching the events leading up to the accident participants were asked a number of questions, including one question about the STOP or Yield junction sign.
finally participants were show both slides of the yield and stop sign junctions and were asked about which they had seen...
The trick was there were 2 conditions
CONSISTENT CONDITION
participants who saw the stop sign the first time were shown the stop sign
participants who saw the yield sign the first time were shown the yield sign
INCONSISTENT CONDITION
participants who saw the first sign saw a different after
e.g saw stop shown yield and vice versa
