Abstract

A quantitative review of subliminal symbiotic activation research is presented. Ss viewed Mommy and I are one and other psychoanalytically relevant or neutral stimuli at subliminal exposure levels, and comparative effects on adaptive behavior were observed. The review procedure was one in which the results of a meta-analysis were corrected for statistical artifacts. Small but significant effects were revealed. All observed variance between studies is attributable to random sampling and measurement error. Future research designed to replicate basic experimental effects is deemed superfluous. Some implications for psychoanalytic theory, cognitive science, and subliminal perception research are discussed.
