Abstract

Major Soviet hypnopedia (sleep-learning) experiments were conducted by Balkhashov (1965); Khil'chenko, Moldavskaya, Kol'chenko, andShevko (1965); Kulikov (1964); Svyadoshch (1962); Zavalova, Zukhar', and Petrov (1964); Zukhar', Kaplan, Maksimov, and Puskina (1965). The results of these experiments show that learning during sleep is possible when a “suggested set” to perceive and remember the learning material during sleep is involved. Selection of Ss according to hypnotizability or primary suggestibility seems to be an important prerequisite. The influence of hypnopedia on the mental health of Ss is evaluated.
