The current research comprised two experiments that employed the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) as a measure of implicit racial attitudes. White Irish participants were exposed to blocks of trials that involved responding in a manner consistent with either a pro-white stereotype or a pro-black stereotype. In Experiment 1, participants completed the IRAP in either a public or private assessment situation. It was hypothesized that implicit pro-white stereotyping would decrease in the public context relative to the private context. The results, however, were not in accordance with this prediction. A second experiment was conducted to determine if requiring participants to respond in a public context but within a shorter timeframe would impact significantly upon implicit stereotyping. The results showed that a reduction in response latency significantly increased ingroup stereotyping. The findings appear to be consistent with the relational elaboration and coherence model.

Holding on to our functional roots when exploring new intellectual islands: A voyage through implicit cognition research (2012, background): “While a number of studies have attempted to account for the predictive relationship between BIRRs and other types of behavior (Barnes-Holmes et al., 2010; Nicholson & Barnes-Holmes, 2012; Roddy et al., 2010; 2011), only simple associative or additive patterns have been examined.”
The Dominance of Associative Theorizing in Implicit Attitude Research: Propositional and Behavioral Alternatives (2011, background): “…are typically required to reach a standard of 80% correct responses and a median response time of less than 2,000 ms. Failure to maintain these criteria across successive test blocks results in the removal of data (see Barnes-Holmes et al., 2010, for a more detailed overview of the procedure).”
