Have you ever done an "impression" experiment?

[ndogmario 81]

Have you ever did a experiment on your friends impressions?

 

Have you ever wondered how they would've view something new under certain circumstances?

 

Have you ever wondered how context would effect someone's perception?

 

Well you're not alone.

 

I enjoy and often try to do these kinds of experiments.

 

Sometimes I would try to have one of my nonBrony friends who knows nothing about the show watch it pmv and give their impressions on the story and characters. And even sometimes have them give their theories on what they believe the story is.

 

Sometimes I have someone listen to a playlist of the soundtrack of an obscure movie or video game and give their impression of what the music is trying to convey.

 

They may not be scientific

But I love experiments like this. I love seeing how people formulate their conclusion. It's so much fun to witness someone's imagination and thought process at work.

... Or am I actually alone here?

I haven't really heard of anyone doing this before to be honest.

You perform an experiment each time? Recording their answers and formulating conclusions? What conclusions do you draw from these?

I've played video game music before for people to try to see what kind of stories they could invent with no reference to the game to go by.

 

I've gotten some pretty interesting ideas and stories from it.

Funny I did something like this just last week

What's the control group too? What hypothesis is being tested?
