Effect of auditory subliminal stimulation on GSR. 1990

H F Kotzé, and A T Möller

The present study was designed to investigate the possible effect of auditory subliminal stimulation on GSR. 38 undergraduate students were exposed subliminally to emotional words while GSR was monitored. The results confirmed the hypothesis that auditory subliminal stimulation would effect a significant increase in GSR.
