| Abstract: | This interesting paper by Sherman and Rivers (in press) seems to have a narrower point (which its authors argue for very explicitly) and a broader point (which they argue for much less explicitly.) While Sherman and Rivers seem aggravated by Kahneman's impact on their field, they should keep in mind that this prominent outsider was complying with their admonition to develop broad theory, and moreover he celebrated and popularized the work of social cognition researchers-until new research led him to grave doubts about the literature he had been relying upon. As Sherman and Rivers suggest, the term "social priming" may have gained popularity as a sort of lazy short-hand for "the kind of priming research done by social psychologists working in the field of social cognition." Our direct replication attempts, usually with larger n's than the original studies, resulted in a stream of completely negative results, and left us with a rather different perspective on the situation than Sherman and Rivers.
