Question
A 2003 paper by Eisenberger, Lieberman, and Williams prevented participants from participating in this activity as part of its explicit social exclusion condition. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this activity. In a 1999 experiment by Chabris and Simons, participants watched a group of individuals in white shirts conduct this activity.
ANSWER: passing a ball [or throw a ball; accept descriptions of exchanging a ball between individuals; accept basketball in place of ball; accept playing basketball or dribbling a basketball; prompt on ignoring a gorilla or descriptions of moving around or avoiding a gorilla with “what other activity were they performing?;” accept, BUT DO NOT REVEAL, descriptions of passing, throwing, or exchanging a Cyberball]
[10e] Chabris and Simons’ experiment used a focus on basketball passes to distract from a woman in a gorilla suit, thereby demonstrating the “selective” form of this state that names a common “deficit disorder.”
ANSWER: attention [accept selective attention; accept selective attention test; accept Attention Deficit Disorder]
[10h] Eisenberger et al’s social exclusion study used this common software used to emulate ball-throwing games for social psychology experiments, which Williams distributes from his Purdue University website.
ANSWER: Cyberball
