Subliminal Cues While Teaching: HCI Technique for Enhanced Learning

This paper presents results from an empirical study conducted with a subliminal teaching technique aimed at enhancing learner’s performance in Intelligent Systems through the use of physiological sensors. This technique uses carefully designed subliminal cues (positive) and miscues (negative) and projects them under the learner’s perceptual visual threshold. A positive cue, called answer cue, i...

Directed remembering: subliminal cues alter nonconscious memory strategies.

Much research on memory function has focused on changes in recognition performance brought about by differences in the processes engaged during encoding. In most of this work, participants either receive explicit instructions to remember particular items or they perform orienting (i.e., encoding) tasks that support different levels of memory performance. In daily life, however, the retention or...

Stimulus-driven attentional capture by subliminal onset cues.

In two experiments, we tested whether subliminal abrupt onset cues capture attention in a stimulus-driven way. An onset cue was presented 16 ms prior to the stimulus display that consisted of clearly visible color targets. The onset cue was presented either at the same side as the target (the valid cue condition) or on the opposite side of the target (the invalid cue condition). Because the ons...

Relational Memory Expression Following Subliminal Presentations of Retrieval Cues

Neural correlates of exposure to subliminal and supraliminal sexual cues.

Sexual arousal is thought to be the result of two levels of processing: conscious and unconscious. Whereas some research exists on the neural correlates related with conscious exposure to sexual stimuli, there are no parallel data regarding unconscious or subliminal exposure to such stimuli. In the present study, we therefore compared brain activation of 39 participants (20 women) as they were ...
