The speed of the ads was faster than a human could perceive, but sales of Coca-Cola and popcorn both increased significantly.

The Images were named Image A, Image B, Image C, and Control. Then the collected data would be examined for similarities and differences with the presented image, and the data would reveal whether the images influenced what the person saw in it. the inkblots The independent variable of this test would be the images shown to the subjects before the test, and the dependent variable would be what was seen in the inkblots during testing. independent, including the absence of an image, the control on which the test was performed would remain constant, the order of the slides displayed and the order of the images displayed before the test, these factors are all necessary in the experiment. to obtain clear data..
