Persons who witnessed an automobile accident involving a green car were exposed to information that the car was blue. On a subsequent color recognition test, most subjects shifted their color selection in the direction of the misleading information and away from the actual perceived color. Shifting was greater for subjects who did not initially commit themselves to a color selection. Control subjects, who were not exposed to misleading information, distributed their chokes around the true color, and did not show a systematic color shift over time.
目击一起涉及蓝色汽车的车祸事故的人接收到的信息是汽车是绿色的。在随后的颜色识别测试中，大多数测试对象的颜色选择会向误导性信息的方向偏移，而不是实际感知到的颜色。那些最初没有做出颜色选择的测试对象的偏移量更大。没有接触到误导性信息的对照组测试对象将他们的选择分散在真实颜色周围，并且随着时间的推移没有表现出系统的颜色偏移。
