Research on Unconscious Processes
Morris N. Eagle · 2017
This chapter deals with selective research on unconscious processes, including discrimination and encoding of stimuli without awareness (subliminal stimulus studies); neural correlates of discrimination without awareness; unconscious acquisition of “rules” and algorithms (learning without awareness); type of encoding and organization of stimuli as a function of degree of awareness and attention; influence of incidental and supraliminal stimuli on behavior without the individual’s awareness of being influenced. The implication of these findings for conceptions of mental processes are discussed.
