However: The studies mentioned above, almost all of the research on Subliminal Messages is done with a one time presentation of the subliminal stimulus. Scientists, Researchers and Psychologists will say generally NO! Manufacturers of Self help products will say YES Later before his death he admitted he had never done the experiment and it was totally made up. NB: While the Vicary study is constantly still being used to claim Subliminal Messages work, in a 1962 Advertising Age interview, Vicary admitted that the original study was “a gimmick” and that the amount of data was “too small to be meaningful”. An avalanche of criticism from outraged citizens and congressmen produced more research on the subject and conflicting results have been bandied ever since.

A Fort Lee, (New Jersey) drive-in theater tachistoscopically flashed the words ‘Drink Coke Cola’ and ‘Eat Popcorn’ for 1/3000th of a second every 5 seconds over Kim Novak’s sensuous face and throughout the movie during a 6-week run of the film Picnic.

Usually if at all the response of subjects is small and weakįor example, People are asked to look at a computer screen and stimulus subliminal cue (the word or an image of a cloud) is presented. Although this might be because most of the studies into subliminal suggestions or influence involve a one-off subliminal stimulus, and then behavior is measured to test any influence. Research findings so far do not support the conclusion that subliminal suggestions are peculiarly powerful. This route to influence or persuasion would be akin to auto-suggestion or hypnosis wherein the subject is encouraged to be (or induced to be) relaxed so that suggestions are directed to deeper parts of the mind some observers have argued that the unconscious mind is incapable of critical refusal of hypnotic or subliminal suggestions. It is suspected and usually tested in psychological studies that Subliminal messages gain their potential ability to influence from the fact that they may be able to circumvent the conscious awareness and its critical functions.įor example, if you were listening to a Subliminal Session for weight loss and you were able to hear the affirmations “I am Slim and Trim” your conscious mind would say to itself “What a load of crap I am fat and hate my body: The idea is that since you are unable to criticize the affirmation when you can not consciously hear it, it is accepted by the sub conscious mind without comment or rebuttal.
