To keep interest high, all subjects were @isked to enter into 4 very informal discussion and that the operator would be very glad to answer any qitestions that came up. As has always been the policy, sul-jects are kept as comple2tely informed as possible as to their progress and what vaguely we are attempting to accomplish in this experimentation. Subjects are continually reminded that our desire is also to make them feel that they too are learning and bene- fitting from the experimentation. were chosen for further tests for ening2 ey spe irig regression and post SI suggestions re- quiring more effort than in ng3.

It was noted that the subject would assume an ap- pearance that differed very little than that of the ak'n w 1 @qu ence. A2"Ni@ete.amnesia was in evidence for the entire sf s then (still under SI) asked to perforrq the same so perfectly. In fact, her appearance was so normal that the ope@r..ator suspected in one instance that she had awakened. This was in error. She performed everything suggested completely nor- mally while still under SI. S2he was then awakened and had comf)lete amnesia including the time that she appeared to be awake. ,,ad been witnessing all the above testing. At thi4@tir@elo, t@he@@@'erator f6lt that subjects were all having complete amnesia and fel:t'also that more definite testing should be done. Subjects were told in advance exactly what the operator would have the subject do and that a tape recording would be made simultane- ously. All three were then put into deep SI and each given a post SI suggestion to perform and told that each would have total am- nggia_f L pon awakening. All were then awakened. .01.2jLhe entire event ii mmediately stated that she was very thirsty,and was 9 in or a nk,of-water. She immediately returned (as instructed un asked that the recording just made be played el SI given), that she would like to hear it. tood up, stretched, yawned, shook herself re2marking, (this was-@e'r post SI).,, The recording was ee ine". then played and the three stated that even after hearing the re- cording, all had absolute amnesia for everything except being told to go to sleep. The most peculiar highlight was when was induced 2to adeep state and regressed approximat th by being in- structed that she was now on her vacation in Florida.
