Abstract

24 students, who participated in a summer session mathematics enrichment program, viewed subliminally presented messages. Prior to each class, the experimental group of 16 viewed a subliminally presented psychoanalytic merging message and the control group of 8 viewed a neutral message. After 20 sessions students were retested. Experimental students had higher mathematics scores than controls. These data are compared with results obtained by other investigators.
