This is a great use of priming! The fact that the effects last for so long even under double-blind conditions is amazing!

I am wondering about why the male grades dropped in the standard class, but if I had to guess it would be on a curve and the men's grades would drop because the top students wouldn't get the benefit of the strong curve created by having lower female grades. still, curious!
