They based it on how quickly a subject responds, then interpreted that as level of disgust. That's not how science works - there are a number of reasons that a subject may respond more quickly or slowly, and they didn't explore any of that - they just assumed it meant their feeling was correct.

That wasn't the only part that they used to falsify it. I know that the implicit bias shit is false. This also included fMRI imaging, though, and the disgust center of the brain lit up like a lamp when the subjects were shown mudsharks and coal drillers.
