DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Abstract): This research examines the capabilities and limitations of cognition initiated by visual 'subliminal' stimuli. These are visual stimuli presented so as to evade conscious attention. The proposed research gives special attention to types of subliminal presentations that are now easily achievable in the mass media of TV and film. Since the mid-1950s, broad and generally unsubstantiated claims of effective therapeutic or other influence by visual subliminal stimuli have appeared in popular press, entertainment media, and marketplace. Until the mid-1980s, scientific evaluation of those claims was severely restricted by scientists' studied avoidance of the topic because of its air of disreputability, and by unavailability of research methods that could decisively evaluate claims. Previous work on this project has contributed to overcoming both of these constraints. The proposed research carries forward these gains by (a) testing for possible cumulative effects of several types of repeated subliminal visual presentations, (b) applying methods developed in the project's previous studies of subliminal text stimuli to test for effects of subliminal graphic/pictorial stimuli, (c) locating the currently elusive upper bound of analytic capability of cognition in response to subliminal stimuli, (d) extending the project's methods for appraising the time course of cognitive processing of subliminal stimuli to supraliminal stimuli, (e) seeking to reconcile competing published claims concerning temporal persistence of effects of subliminal visual stimuli, and (f) developing a diagnostic procedure that can provide comparative appraisal of theorized attitude conditioning procedures.

描述（申请人摘要）：本研究考察了 以及视觉“阈下”刺激引发的认知局限性。 这些是视觉刺激，以逃避有意识的注意。的 建议的研究给予特别注意的类型的阈下 现在在电视大众媒体上很容易实现的演示， 电影自20世纪50年代中期以来，广泛和普遍未经证实的索赔， 视觉阈下刺激有效治疗或其它影响 出现在大众媒体、娱乐媒体和市场上。直到 20世纪80年代中期，对这些索赔的科学评估受到严重限制， 科学家们研究回避这个话题，因为它的空气， 不名誉，以及无法获得研究方法， 果断地评估索赔。该项目的前期工作为 克服这两个限制。拟议的研究进行 通过（a）测试可能的累积效应， 几种类型的重复阈下视觉呈现，（B）应用 该项目以前对潜意识文本的研究中开发的方法 测试阈下图形/图片刺激效果的刺激，（c） 定位目前难以捉摸的分析能力的上限， 认知反应阈下刺激，（d）扩大该项目的 阈下认知加工时程的评价方法 刺激到阈上刺激，（e）寻求协调竞争 发表的关于阈下效应的时间持续性的主张 视觉刺激，以及（f）开发一种诊断程序， 对理论化的态度调节程序进行比较评估。
