The test environment may be a computer display screen, wherein the method designates a first zone within the environment as a positive behavioral association region and designates a second zone within the environment as a negative behavioral association region. The method further prompting the user to categorize each stimulus by moving the stimulus to either the first zone or the second zone, wherein positively categorizing stimuli causes the user to develop improved implicit attitudes towards the behavioral objects associated with those stimuli in the first zone.
