Abstract

In an investigation of intersubject communication, young school children (18 boys and 18 girls) were asked to identify two ambiguous figures of dogs. The identifications made showed that confidential experimental details were communicated quickly to large numbers of potential subjects. Subjects used communicated information when identifying only one of the two figures, suggesting that such information was used only when they understood its implications.
