Visual Evoked Response Correlates of Unconscious Mental Processes

Howard Shevrin 1 and Dean E. Fritzler 1

1 Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas

Average evoked responses and accompanying free associations elicited by subthreshold visual stimuli were studied to determine if a differential discrimination between two stimuli would be reflected in either or both of these responses. The results indicate that the effects of subliminal perception are encoded in the average evoked response and also influence the content of free associations.
