===============

Breaking bias?

People's prejudices were assessed with a series of publicly available tests at the start of the study.

They were then given "counter-bias training". During the session, pictures of faces were paired with words that were the opposite of widely-held stereotypes.

So female faces were paired with words like "maths" or black faces with positive words like "sunshine".

Distinctive sounds were played during the counter-bias training and were played again at low volume during a 90-minute afternoon nap.
