Terri was walking through the mall and was approached by a researcher, who asked if she would like to participate in a brief experiment. After agreeing, she was led to a room where she waited alone. After 30 minutes passed, the researcher came into the room and told her the experiment was over and that she could leave. Later that day, while describing the episode to her friend, Terri could not explain what the experiment was about. Why not?

▸ Terri didn't pay attention; all of the information about the experiment should have been posted on the door to the room she entered.

▸ The researcher failed to debrief Terri, and therefore it was never made clear to her what the purpose of the experiment was.

▸ The researcher failed to get Terri's informed consent and therefore could not release details concerning the experiment.

▸ Due to the fact that the experiment was in a public space, information regarding the purpose doesn't need to be made clear to the participants.
