Thank you for sharing your project, very cool work to see a priming effect with Bunnies. Thank you!
This is a remarkably sophisticated project! I was very impressed by your ability to design controlled experiments to test psychological phenomena like cognitive bias. Your work on the ‘frequency illusion bias’ was exceptionally well-structured, providing clear, quantitative evidence to support your hypothesis. I also want to praise your scientific integrity—the fact that you reported ‘reverse brand bias’ (where tap water outperformed the name brand) shows you were truly looking at the data rather than trying to force it to match your expectations. You have a keen eye for how the world works, and your concluding reflections on how to be a more aware consumer are excellent. Keep exploring this field; you are a natural researcher!
