Subliminal Stimuli

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A subliminal stimulus is one presented below the absolute threshold, so it is not consciously detected.

Show

In masked-priming studies, a word shown for milliseconds speeds recognition of a related word.

Watch for

Measurable priming effects are small and short-lived. Detected influence is not the same as behavioral control.
