Subliminal Research Into Subliminal Messaging Is Positive
We all come into contact with subliminal messages every day. They are simply images or words that have been created to affect a person without their knowledge.
Recently, a team of researchers at Boston University in the Center for Memory and Brain research (led by a professor of psychology called Takeo Watanabe) undertook some subliminal research i.e. research into subliminal messaging, with some extremely interesting findings about how subliminal learning can influence the human mind.
People experience subliminal learning in two main ways - through images; when they are displayed faster than the human eye can see, or through audio; when words are spoken beyond the capacity of our ears to hear.
Watanabe’s team used perception tests to conduct their research. The groups were asked to watch letters flashing on monitors and to t remember those in a specific colour. As the letters flashed, moving dots appeared - but BELOW people’s line of vision
However long the groups took take to identify the direction and movement of dots was noted. The expiriment was repeated several times; evenutally it was found that participants were actually learning the information and patterns subliminally!
People could identify dots even though they were out of the immediate line of sight, as well as focusing on the letters simultaneously and they were also able to remember the information in between the tests.
Further research by Watanabe found that after a gap of six months and participants showed an uncanny ability to retain what they had learnt, adding even further value to the power of subliminal messages.
To finish off here is a quote from Watanabe:
“The pronunciation of a new language could improve if the data was presented in a subliminal way. It is possible to influence our brains without the person putting in that much effort.”
So - according to Watanabe subliminal language learning is possible!
