Summary

The title’s 35 years are from June 1963, when I received my PhD, to June 1998, when the article that introduced the Implicit Association Test was published (Greenwald et al., 1998). This chapter will be replete with digressions from the path between ideomotor theory and the IAT. I’ve italicized the digressions to make them obvious.
