REPETITION OF VERBAL SIGNALS: BEHAVIOURAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES
Abstract
We have studied the effects of repetition on certain aspects of the behaviour of the individual, notably his attitudes, interpersonal relations and his self concept. We have also studied the effects of repetition on ear temperature levels. With respect to the behavioural changes it has been demonstrated that repetition will produce predetermined change. In the psychosomatic studies, repetition will produce change but not necessarily in a predetermined direction. Behavioural changes have been demonstrated for over a year after cessation of repetition in several cases in which the circumstances were very favourable. The changes in the ear temperature levels faded within a few days after cessation of repetition.
