“Mrs. Hilberg wanted to see if students who were shocked with a mild
electric charge when answering questions incorrectly would then
concentrate harder and get more questions correct. She attached
electrodes to the chairs of the half the students which she labeled
group A. The remaining students were labeled group B. She then
asked all the students 5 questions of the same complexity concerning
a subject introduced the previous day. She found that group A
improved to an 80% accuracy by the 3rd question. Group B only
reached 70% accuracy by the 5th questions.”
