There’s a famous result in psychology where grad students report that rats are better at mazes if the advisor tells them the rats are “maze bright” rather than “maze dull”.

Thanks. So you’re saying the “maze bright” / “maze dull” experiment has been repeated without reproducing the result?
I don't think there's a published replication. But given the study description, the probability of it turning out to be bullshit is about 100%.
