In Exp. 1, Ss were asked to read under normal and .2-sec. DAF conditions. 3 sets of instructions and statements about effects of DAF were used for groups of males and females. In Exp. 2, the same reading conditions were used. Ss were either given 1 of 2 pre-recorded models or no information prior to DAF experience. In both studies, no significant differences due to type of preparation for DAF were noted. Under the conditions used, DAF reaction seems unaffected by expectancy of Ss.
