Doesn't the experiment described in the second paragraph (painful noises versus painful followed by less-painful noises) tend to disprove the peak-end rule? It's a shame there's no citation for it. 67.158.76.243 02:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
'Disprove'? How does this disprove the peak end rule? Let's say it hurts a bit more more to be punched in the nose than to be punched in the shoulder. I give you the choice, get punched in the nose, or get punched in the nose and then punched in the shoulder. Which would you pick? The peak-end rule says that the brain will experience the first (just getting punched in the nose) as a worse experience than the second (getting punched in the nose and in the shoulder). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.235.6 (talk) 12:27, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Backpacker's Amnesia
editJust a thought regarding this. Within my hiking group we often joke about 'Hiker's Amnesia', which is the state that occurs after a particularly long and difficult hike. When you come off the trail you may swear to sell your gear and live the rest of your life in a chair, but as little as a week later when the next hike begins, you're right at the front of the line. --24.4.183.207 23:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Evaluation for Psych 101
editI believe that is article is informative but vague. The information is backed up with a reference and an example on an experiment. In order for it to be reliable,it needs to be more descriptive with several credible sources. BwookeGlass (talk) --BwookeGlass 00:38, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
This needs updating and expansion
editKahneman et al have done more recent experiments, including the well-known colonoscopy examinations and the "immerse arm in freezing water" experiment, both confirming the effect. Tony (talk) 01:33, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
