was the experimenter who was in charge of
the ses- sion; and one appeared to be
another participant but was in actuality part

The self-assured experimenter set the group's

learn- er who was supposed to memorize the
pairings. The teacher would later check the
learner's ability to recall the pairs. Failures
would be punished by an electric shock. What

the confederate was always assigned to the
learn- er role and that the learner did not
actually receive shocks.
