Orphan[edit]

This article no longer seems to be an orphan. A link from an article about the unconscious mind points to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.43.158.229 (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mind - brain[edit]

This article seems to confuse the brain and the mind. I think a clearer differentiation of each from each other is necessary throughout and would offer a much clearer exposition. For example, we don't experience the brain but we do experience the mind. Though clearly connected, they are not identical to each other.Whitjr (talk) 14:46, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, however, the term "unconscious brain" is not uncommonly used. But if you feel like replacing all "unconscious brain" with "unconscious mind", please go ahead! Lova Falk talk 15:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What experiments?[edit]

"Though the actual level of involvement of the unconscious brain during a cognitive process might still be a matter of differential opinion, the fact that the unconscious brain does play a role in cognitive activity is undeniable. Several experiments and well recorded phenomena attest to this fact. "

We should at least add the synopsis of one important experiment as an example of this point, and maybe a citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felknight (talk • contribs) 07:58, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Felknight! This sentence is in the lead, and the lead doesn't have to have citations for each sentence when it is a summary of sourced content in the article. In the section "Effect on learning, thinking and decision making" some of the sources are these experiments. However, it is obvious that this article needs more sources.

Hi Lova Falk. I agree with the fact that the leading may not contain citations since it´s a summary. However I still think we should at least mention one important example experiment so the sentence “several experiments and well recorded phenomena attest to this fact.” doesn´t feel incomplete.

By example:

Several experiments and well recorded phenomena attest to this fact, by example the illusion-of-truth effect.

Hopefully you know a more important or illustrative example. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felknight (talk • contribs) 17:42, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Felknight! I added your example. With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 17:37, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
