3月21日的《科學(xué)》（Science）雜志報(bào)道說(shuō)，腦研究者已經(jīng)知道,，只要大腦考慮做某種動(dòng)作就會(huì)引起身體的運(yùn)動(dòng),，而該運(yùn)動(dòng)者并非有意識(shí)地決定要做動(dòng)作,。如今,，Henk Aart及其同僚顯示，當(dāng)人們?cè)诮邮荜P(guān)于做出動(dòng)作信息的同時(shí)還伴隨聽到些許下意識(shí)的“鼓勵(lì)性言論”的話,，做該動(dòng)作的人會(huì)付出更大的努力,。研究人員對(duì)這一想法進(jìn)行了測(cè)試。他們先向人們顯示一組如“用力”等與努力有關(guān)的詞匯,，然后對(duì)他們握力測(cè)試的表現(xiàn)進(jìn)行測(cè)量,。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些看到鼓勵(lì)性詞匯（諸如“好”）與要努力的詞匯混合出現(xiàn)的人要比那些僅看到要努力的詞匯者具有更強(qiáng)且快速的握力測(cè)試表現(xiàn),。作者說(shuō),，這表明正面的詞匯可以激發(fā)人們付出更大的努力來(lái)做某項(xiàng)工作,。（來(lái)源：EurekAlert!中文版）

Preparing and Motivating Behavior Outside of Awareness
Henk Aarts,* Ruud Custers, Hans Marien
The mere activation of the idea of a behavioral act moves the human body without the person consciously deciding to take action. In an experiment, we showed that people subliminally primed with the concept of exertion were faster to squeeze a hand grip forcefully but expended more effort when the subliminal primes were directly accompanied by consciously visible positive stimuli. These findings demonstrate the human capacity to rely on mental processes in preparing and motivating behavior outside of awareness.
