What will be an ideal response?
In the implicit association test, people press one key if they see (for example) either a black person's face or a pleasant word, and press a different key if they see a white face or an unpleasant word. After researchers measure the mean delays for each type of response, the rules change. Now the participant presses one key for a black face or unpleasant word, and a different key for a white face or pleasant word. Someone who responds faster for black/unpleasant than for black/pleasant and faster for white/pleasant than white/unpleasant is presumably prejudiced against black people. The same procedure can be used to measure other possible prejudices.
