government’s colonization project against its management. These pioneers went to Alaska from drought area of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. “Did these settlers expect they were going on a nice vacation?” Dimond asked. “They knew that hewing out a frontier was not easy, that they would have to work.

This study was a replication of Loftus and Palmer (1974). The aim was to test if participants viewing a video clip of a car crash would make different estimates of the speed of one of the cars according to the question asked: it was expected that the question using ‘smashed’ as the verb would elicit higher estimates than the question using ‘bumped’. Speed estimates were in fact similar for the two groups. Reasons for the failure to replicate the results of the original are discussed. The…
