Some researchers examining the validity of the Implicit
Associations Test (IAT) have suggested that an absence of correlation between the IAT and measures of explicit prejudice actually supports the IAT's validity. This is because the IAT is believed to measure unconscious, or implicit, prejudice. The result is that the validity of the IAT can be supported whether correlations with other measure of prejudice are low or high. This is a problem for which of the six principles of critical thinking?
A) Correlation versus causation
B) Replicability
C) Falsifiability
