Answer to Question 1

Answer: Stereotype threat refers to the apprehension that minority group members experience when they believe that they might behave in a manner that reinforces or confirms existing stereotypes about their group. The consequences are often that this anxiety or apprehension impedes the performance of these apprehensive minority group members, thus inadvertently reinforcing existing cultural stereotypes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The IAT is criticized because it is not predicting behavior very well and consistently. There is some evidence that what the IAT actually measures is cultural associations or stereotypes. For example, pairing old with wrinkled doesn't necessarily make one prejudiced. It could just represent that one knows what the stereotype is of older people in our culture.
