0:00:00:05 Establish rapport ALL Kesana: Good morning everyone.
with the So today, you are all gathered here
participants/subjects for us to conduct an experiment.
This experiment is a very important
part of our study so I hope you
would all respect and understand
each role of the researchers and
take this experiment seriously. The
criteria of choosing the subjects of
this experiment are not color-
blinded so we expect that all of you
don’t have any problems with
colors. But before anything else, let
us, researchers, introduce
ourselves first.
