Aim: to see the effect on judgement of listening to other people.
Method: He asked participants to estimate how far a spot of light moved when they sitting in an otherwise completely dark room. In fact the light didn’t move at all, but due to an optical illusion called the autokinetic effect it did appear so.
Results: Individually tha participants gave a variety of estrimates, which different quite widely with each other. However, after being allowed to undertake the same task in groups of three, their estimates became more similar until eventually they were very c;lose.
Conclusion: The participants used other peoples opinions to help them form a judgement in an ambiguous situation.
