A method was developed to record the impact of a subliminal registration upon the nature, extent, and quality of a S's conscious impressions of a perceived stimulus. The main questions raised were: (a) will impressions of a pictured person of ambiguous sex be affected by subliminal sexual drawings, and (b) will impressions of pictured person be differently affected by realistic and by symbolic subliminal sexual pictures? A balanced design was employed with 24 male medical students as Ss. It was found that Ss tended either to incorporate or exclude attributes of the subliminal sexual picture in their impressions of the perceived figure. Additional findings are discussed. 25 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
