Schematic diagram describing the mere effort account. If the prepotent response is correct, the mere effort account suggests that stereotype threat facilitates performance for stigmatized individuals. If the prepotent response is incorrect and participants do not know, performance is debilitated. However, if participants are able to recognize that their prepotent tendencies are incorrect and have the time to correct them, performance can be facilitated.
