   The 1996 elderly-priming walking study is 'Automaticity of social behavior' (Bargh, Chen & Burrows, JPSP, 1996), not 'The Automaticity of Everyday Life'

   Before

   Bargh's 1996 study ("The Automaticity of Everyday Life") demonstrated that priming participants with elderly stereotypes caused them to walk more slowly in the hallway. The actual Bargh, Chen & Burrows (1996) 'Automaticity of social behavior' citation was entirely missing from the article's Further Reading bibliography.

   After

   Bargh, Chen, and Burrows's 1996 study ("Automaticity of social behavior") demonstrated that priming participants with elderly stereotypes caused them to walk more slowly in the hallway. Body text was already correctly fixed with the right authors and title. Added the missing bibliography entry: 'Bargh, J. A., Chen, M., & Burrows, L. (1996). Automaticity of social behavior: Direct effects of trait construct and stereotype activation on action. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 71(2), 230-244.'

   Why: Body text correction (authors and paper title) had already landed correctly, but the citation was missing entirely from the Further Reading bibliography. Added the missing citation.
