| Abstract: | Behavior without awareness has been extensively studied in the laboratory. On the basis of a review of these studies, it is concluded that "the only type of behavior without awareness which can be easily reproduced on the basis of published reports is the classical type, in which S knows what he is supposed to be discriminating, but does not know that he is discriminating, because of the absence of the usual sensory experiences to which he is accustomed under the given type of stimulation." There is a need to establish experimental procedures under which the other types of conditions can be unequivocally demonstrated. 76-item bibliography.
