Video‐tapes were made of performers with and without spectacles, seen either static for 15 sec. or being interviewed for 5 min. Judges rated IQs of performers as 12 points higher when they were seen wearing spectacles and were seen briefly; when the performers were seen for 5 min., however, spectacles made no difference. It is argued that this result throws doubt on experiments in person perception using photographs or brief exposure.
Argyle et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
