The British Psychological Society's Research Digest summarises Genschow and colleagues' test of Baker-Miller pink. In going back over the original methods, it describes one early study of strength in which the experimenter could see the card's colour, which leaves room for experimenter expectancy, and another that compared two kinds of cell in different years without random assignment.
