It hoped they would learn how shop-floor lighting ___ workers' productivity.

In 1924 America's National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of experiments at a telephone-parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago. It hoped they would learn how shop-floor lighting ______ workers' productivity. Instead, the studies ended up giving their name to the "Hawthorne effect," the extremely influential idea that the very ______ of being experimented upon changed subjects' behavior. The idea arose because of the ______ behavior of the women in the plant. According to ______ of the experiments, their hourly output rose when lighting was increased, but also when it was dimmed. It did not ______ what was done in the experiment; so long as something was changed, productivity rose. A(n) ______ that they were being experimented upon seemed to be enough to ______ workers' behavior ______. After several decades, the same data were ______ to econometric analysis. The Hawthorne experiments had another surprise in store. Contrary to the descriptions on record, no systematic ______ was found that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting. It turns out that the peculiar way of conducting the experiments may have led to ______ interpretations of what happened. For example, lighting was always changed on a Sunday. When work started again on Monday, output duly rose compared with the previous Saturday and continued to rise for the next couple of days.

People are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance this might seem like a strength that ______ the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by external factors. But Dr Uri Simonsohn speculated that an inability to consider the big ______ was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samples of information they were working with. For example, he theorised that a judge fearful of appearing too soft ______ crime might be more likely to send someone to prison ______ he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to forced community service on that day. To test this idea, he turned to the university-admissions process. In theory, the ______ of an applicant should not depend on the few others chosen randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr Simonsohn suspected the truth was ______. He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews conducted by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had ______ applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale took numerous factors into consideration. The scores were then used in conjunction with an applicant's score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, a standardised exam which is ______ out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her. Dr Simonsohn found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one before that, then ______ the score for the next applicant would ______ by an average of 0.075 points. This ______ might sound small, but to ______ the effects of such a decrease a candidate would ______ need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been necessary.
