本研究考察了在高级心理学课程中使用演示的成本和收益。对于6个主题，一半的学生阅读了一章，解释了所描述的效应的概念和理论解释，另一半学生在阅读之外参加了一个演示。绝大多数学生表示，当他们参加示威活动时，他们对学习经历的享受程度更高。然而，基于论文、测验和考试问题的学习方法表明，学生并不总是从参加示威活动中受益。事实上，在3项测量中，有2项的结果表明，参加示范会显著恶化绩效。
This study examined the costs and benefits of using demonstrations in an upper level psychology course. For 6 topics, half of the class read a chapter that explained the concept and theoretical explanations for the described effects, and the other half participated in a demonstration in addition to the reading. Students overwhelmingly reported higher enjoyment of their learning experience when they participated in the demonstrations. However, measures of learning based on essays, quizzes, and exam questions showed that students did not always benefit from participating in the demonstrations. In fact, for 2 of the 3 measures, results indicated that participating in the demonstrations significantly worsened performance.
