[@ayushisingh603]

Thankyou, it was a really helpful video. Everything was explained clearly with good examples. I just wanted to ask since proving it experimentally can be done, why didn't other psychologists try to prove it?

[@PsyvsPsy]

Great question! Two of the main prohibitive factors are the length of time and the ethicality of the experiments.
