Of the approximately 5,000 reports of experiments on classical conditioning and closely related phenomena that have come out of Russian laboratories since the beginning of the century, approximately 1,500 of which have appeared since 1950, roughly 300-almost all of the since-1950 group-stand out with a particular salience. They stand out, first, because, with only very few exceptions, they are not being duplicated outside the Soviet Union and '.fdeed are hardly known outside it.

Somewhat summarily, I would say that these 300 recent Russian experiments contribute greatly toward making the Unconscious observable instead of in-
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.
