Preferred term

thin slices of behavior  

Definition

  • Definition Thin slices of behavior is a term coined by Nalini Ambady and Robert Rosenthal in their study examining the accurate judgments of teacher effectiveness. They discovered that very brief (10-second and even 2-second) clips of dynamic silent video clips provided sufficient information for naive raters to evaluate a teacher's effectiveness in high correlation with students' final course ratings of their instructors.
