Abstract
Performers shocked for errors and nonshocked performers explored a multiple-choice bolt-head maze on a first trial. Observers were exposed to confederates who replicated the performance of performers on the first trial. On a second (test) trial, observers made fewer errors than performers and performers exposed to shock committed more errors than performers not exposed to shock.
