Subliminal Self-Help Tapes:
An Example of Self-Help Snake Oil


Subliminal Self-Help Tapes & The Illusory Placebo Effect

In fact, only one reliable effect of subliminal tapes has ever been demonstrated, and it is not the effect that marketers of these tapes promise. It is an effect that author and psychologist Anthony Pratkanis, an expert on subliminal phenomena, has called the illusory placebo effect.

To understand this effect, let’s consider one of the studies conducted by Pratkanis and his colleagues. They recruited people interested in subliminal techniques, and before the study began, each participant was given several tests of self-esteem and memory. Participants were then given subliminal tapes designed to improve either self-esteem or memory, but with a twist. Half of the participants received tapes that were correctly labeled, but the other half were given mislabeled tapes – some received self-esteem enhancers that were labeled as memory improvers, while others received memory improvement tapes that were labeled as self-esteem enhancers. Everyone was given instructions on how to use the tapes, and each participant was called weekly with encouragement to continue listening to the tapes. Five weeks later, the self-esteem and memory of all participants were measured again.

Consistent with other studies, these tapes did not deliver the benefits their manufacturers had promised, as there was no significant improvement in self-esteem or memory. Although the tapes themselves had no effect, the labels did. Those who listened to tapes labeled as self-esteem enhancers believed their self-esteem had improved (in fact, self-esteem remained stable); similarly, those who listened to tapes labeled as memory enhancers believed their memory had improved (in fact, their memories had not improved). This is the illusory placebo effect. Like a placebo, the tapes had an effect only because the users expected them to have an effect, but the effect was illusory, not real. Just as 19th century snake oils containing laudanum made people feel better without providing the promised medical benefits, so do today’s subliminal self-help and self-improvement tapes.

Despite numerous studies demonstrating that subliminal tapes are worthless, people continue buying them in large numbers. The problem is that manufacturers of these products have become experts at deceptive marketing, and they conveniently ignore the carefully-conducted studies demonstrating the ineffectiveness of the tapes. As Anthony Pratkanis put it,

“Tape company representatives are likely to provide you with a rather lengthy list of ‘studies’ demonstrating their claims. Don’t be fooled. The studies on these lists fall into two camps – those done by the tape companies and for which full writeups are often not available, and those that have titles that sound as if they apply to subliminal influence, but really don’t.”
Subliminal Tapes: Self-Help Snake Oil (A Scientific Perspective)

froms "paths's website:
Rapid Data Transfer Protocol
(R.D.T.)

A tremendous breakthrough in the area of subconscious life enhancement, R.D.T. or Rapid Data Transfer allows high speed communication with the human subconscious.

Specialists who attempt to develop self-help systems, and behavioral enhancement solutions have long underestimated the hyper retention and sorting capabilities of the subconscious mind. While the effectiveness of subliminal suggestion is well documented, R.D.T capable technologies are light years ahead, actually having the ability to enhance a person by delivering millions of instructions to their subconscious in short periods of time. The result is a safe and selectable system that features enhancements controlled by the end user on both a conscious and subconscious level.




like i said, junk science. I am just amazed that people part with their money so easily.
