“…The first and most referred to is Wallace's text editor program [11]. In this experiment, Wallace and colleagues put forward two important findings: (1) the projected stimuli must take into account the specifications of the computer such as screen resolution and refresh rate (2) that the frequency at which subjects requested help was much lower when the requested information was projected subliminally.…”

Abstract. In this paper we take a closer and in-depth look at initial results obtained from a previous novel experiment conducted with a 3D subliminal teaching Intelligent Tutoring System. Subliminal priming is a technique used to project information to a learner outside of his perceptual field. Initial results showed great promise by illustrating the positive impact of the subliminal module on the overall emotional state of the learners as well as their learning performances. Indeed, since emotion monitoring is critical in any learning context, we monitored the physiological reactions of the user while they learned and while they answered questions. We present a detailed and precise look at the optimal affective conditions that set the best learners apart. We will also explain a most surprising finding: the positive long term impact of subliminal priming on the entire learning process.

“…Examples of research include subliminal cueing in support of online help in a desktop-computer text-editing task application (Wallace, Flanery, & Knezek, 1991), just-in-time memory support using subliminal cues delivered in a head-mounted display (DeVaul et al, 2003), application in a tutoring system (Chalfoun & Frasson, 2011), and aid for visual search tasks (e.g., McNamara, Bailey, & Grimm, 2008;Bailey, McNamara, Sudarsanam, & Grimm, 2009).…”

“…Aside from our own pilot, we have only been able to locate one other publication of any note about subliminal task support in software. It dealt with desktop HCI and was published in 1991 (F. Layne Wallace, et al "The Effect of Subliminal Help Presentations on Learning a Text Editor, [26]). …”

“…In 1991, Wallace showed that subliminal cuing decreased reliance on online help in a desktop-computer text editing task application [26]. In essence, this was a use of subliminal cues in support of a memory task.…”
