or about three-fourths of those attending, were provided with such an experience. Several strobe and colored lights (synchronized to music) reflecting off walls and ceilings of mirrored mylar were ased for visual stimulation; an original composition of string and percussion music stereophonically presented through headphones for auditory stimulation; comfortable reclining chairs which vibrate and heat for somesthetic and thermal stimulation; specialcandy with carbonated centers for gustatory stimulation; and perfumers' oils permeating the air for olfactory stimulation -all occurring simultaneously in a darkened room for a period of fifteen minutes. Of the participants, 207 or 45 per cent were given before-and-after assignments to draw a bowl of brightly colored fruit. Since no control group was used, this situation should not be considered as an experiment but as an event designed to demonstrate the immediate effects of the stimulation. In several experiments with control groups, however, results comparable to those reported here were obtained.The participants who were given the before-and-after drawing assignment were mostly beginners in the basic creative problem-solving program. Small groups of approximately nine were exposed to simultaneous sensory stimulation in twentytwo scheduled sessions. Advanced program participants were similarly exposed to simultaneous sensory stimulation at times 208 Volume 8 Number 3 Third QUlrter
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
