For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis2, France, wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brains high-level thinking processes get involved.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about lHungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food---related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perceptions5, not in thinking processes, Radel says.
