Effect of Sensory Overload on Psychological State: Changes in Social Alienation-Personal Disorganization and Cognitive-Intellectual Impairment

Gottschalk, Louis A.·1972·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

Ten male and ten female subjects were shown a 43-minute, highintensity sound color movie contrived to evoke a psychedelic experience. Five-minute tape-recorded speech samples and Rod and Frame tests were obtained from each subject before and immediately after exposure to the sound movie. Content analysis scores of the speech samples showed a significant increase in social alienation-personal disorganization scores (P<.025, one-tailed test) and cognitive-intellectual impairment scores (P<.005, one-tailed test) after exposure to the sensory overload experience. The degree of field dependence, derived from the Rod and Frame test, significantly predicted which subjects would have the largest increases in cognitive-intellectual impairment scores (r =.48,P<.025, one-tailed test).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
