Hmmm, that was google, not google scholar. And those are not scholarly articles -- which was the question at hand. If you want to make a case that the science news press has been more critical of implicit bias than the "scientific" research -- I will sign up for that right now.

Hey Lee, you need to put "implicit bias" in quotes in the Google Scholar search, otherwise you also get all instances of "implicit" and "bias" not necessarily used with each other.

Thanks. Did not realize that.

Ok, so I double checked. Now I am really not sure what it is and is not doing. I get 20k hits with "implicit bias". I get 1.5m hits with implicit bias. I get>3m hits with implicit. So if implicit bias (no quotes) pulls both, how can it pull less than just implicit?

Your numbers are perfectly consistent with the way Brian says. Quoting them means they have to occur next to each other, no quotes just means they both have to be there somewhere together. GS used to be advanced search that made this more clear, but was removed (dunno why).

ok, great, thanks.
