Description
Summary:The preferred modality by which 50 right-handed female college students encoded experience was assessed by recordings of conjugate eye movements, content analysis of S's verbal report, and S's self-report. Contrary to the prediction of the theory of neurolinquistics programming (NLP), kappa analyses failed to reveal any agreement of the 3 assessment methods. Each assessment method was also shown to be biased toward revealing a particular representational modality. The application of certain principles of NLP in counseling settings is therefore questioned. (12 ref)
