Administering an Implicit Association Test (IAT) would be the best option to assess any unconscious bias that Talia and Emily may have towards Michael. The IAT measures implicit biases that people may not be consciously aware of and can reveal any hidden prejudices towards certain groups. Asking the girls directly why they don't want to play with Michael or administering a self-report questionnaire may not provide an accurate representation of their true feelings, as they may not be consciously aware of their biases or may not want to acknowledge them. Likewise, measuring their brain activity when playing with Michael is not a reliable indicator of bias.
