Ariely's body part I - an experiment or experiments?

This morning we moved on to discuss the body of Ariely's chapter "The Context of Our Character, Part I" (2009, pp. 195 - 216). We decided that in the first part of the the body, pages 197 - 202, he presents an experiment or experiments, and then reports the results. But we were not sure whether in these pages he presents one experiment or several.

What do you think: should the noun experiment be singular or plural? And you will probably need some support for your answer - you have to persuade some people in the class to change their minds.
