Transliminality, the tendency for thoughts to cross consciousness thresholds, is strongly linked to everyday memory lapses. This suggests heightened mental activation may impact conscious awareness and recall.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Transliminality is theorized as the gateway for psychological material crossing into or out of consciousness.
  • Understanding transliminality may offer insights into cognitive processes and subjective experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between transliminality and everyday memory aberrations.
  • To test the hypothesis that increased activation associated with transliminality impacts conscious experience.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 50 adults (22 men, 28 women) completed the Revised Transliminality Scale.
  • Participants also completed a brief measure of everyday memory aberrations.
  • Snowball sampling was used to recruit participants, mostly students.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive correlation (r = .59, p < .001) was found between transliminality scores and everyday memory aberrations.
  • This correlation remained significant after controlling for age and sex.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary findings support the hypothesis that transliminality involves heightened activation.
  • This activation may lead to a loss of conscious experience, affecting memory.
  • Transliminality appears to be a valid construct related to consciousness and memory functioning.
