A researcher conducted an experiment to investigate the psychological effects of linguistic priming on motor skills.
In Part 1, participants were told they were completing a 'reading comprehension assessment', but they were actually exposed to a text containing either words associated with physical speed and precision, or words associated with slowness and lethargy.
In Part 2, they were timed on how long it took them to complete a delicate manual dexterity task (threading a series of small needles).
After both parts of the study had been completed, the researcher needed to debrief the participants.
Write a debriefing statement that the researcher could read out to the participants.
