Repeated Presentation Experiment

Literature

A couple references to get you started can be found here.

Stimuli

  • What genres would you like to test?

Methods

  • What types of framings/manipulations would you like to use? Prestige is only one option. Think about how you might want to structure levels of the framing manipulation.

  • Think about whether you’d like to tease apart noise from bias. [This article](* Think about whether you’d like to tease apart ) might be a good place to start.

  • What sort of design (between- or within-subjects) might help you best answer your question, given your answers to the above?
