Abstract
“The present study investigated the capacity of human Ss to judge the emotional quality of stimuli presented too briefly [tachistoscopically] and at illumination levels too low for correct specific identification . . ‥ After the exposure of each word, the Ss were required to judge whether the word was pleasant or unpleasant as well as to guess what the word was . . ‥ the results revealed that in the absence of specific recognition or identification of the stimuli, the Ss' affective judgments were more often correct than could be attributed to chance.” (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
