Larry Ferlazzo's Post on Brain Priming

My question after reading these links is - do I really want my students to write everything they know about me? Or all that they think they know?

"I’ve written before about Malcolm Gladwell’s citing a study that showed students who were asked to take five minutes and write everything they knew about a professor scored higher on a test they then took (see Getting Into A “Smart” Frame Of Mind on Test-Days). He says this is called ‘Brain-Priming.”
A new study has come-out and reached the same conclusions."
