you got to do it yourself
I'm still working on the verb priming experiment you all helped me generate and rate pairs for ages ago. We piloted a version back in early April, and decided to significantly alter many details of the design before proceeding. But the silly sentences full of celebrity gossip/trivia are still a crucial part of the design. We've been rejigging those as well, moving pieces around to adjust where the prime and target words occur. To this end, one of my helpful minions changed:
Among the souvenirs Orlando Bloom has from 'Lord of the Rings' is a picture that Viggo Mortensen drew/sketched of him.
to:
A picture that Viggo Mortensen kindly drew/sketched of him is among the souvenirs Orlando Bloom has from 'Lord of the Rings'.
KINDLY!!!! Heeee! It's like the unsexiest adjective ever! In 6 short letters it completely destroys all the gentle shippy overtones I so carefully and lovingly wove into the first sentence. Silly minion!
