situation
Presentation of
memory task
Alone: the subject works in isolation

High: subjects are told that on the basis of their academic records (which the experimenter has not seen), poor performance would be surprising. Additionally, the researcher promises a monetary bonus for superior performance.
equal habit strength: both nonsense words are presented 14 times out of 28 total presentations
