| Abstract: | "Two experiments were performed to study the effect of subliminal and supraliminal suggestion on productivity… in describing a picture… . [A control] group was given a task of describing in writing a TAT picture presented tachistoscopically 10 times at increasing exposure levels. In the second condition a subliminal stimulus, the words WRITE MORE overlapped with the TAT picture for .02 seconds. In the third condition the subliminal suggestion was DON'T WRITE… . A second experiment was performed to see the effect on productivity of the same suggestions at supraliminal levels… . subliminal suggestion may produce some effect in the region just below threshold. When the suggestion becomes supraliminal its distracting effects causes a contrasuggestive response in some Ss." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
