For the subliminal group, a subliminal message was inserted into the video; a red background was also used for the computer screen. For the non-subliminal group, no message was flashed during the video, and a white background was used during the playing of the video.

In 1716 in 0 lower Canada, armed only with a description of 0 Chinese ginseng, a missionary priest searched for the inscrutable root for three months before accidentally discovering it--its bright red berries attracting his attention. While 0 regional tribes had used the plant for countless centuries, 0 Father Joseph Lafitau is generally credited with introducing 0 North American ginseng to 0 Western culture. Highly treasured as a panacea in 0 China, its discovery here was a windfall, jumpstarting 0 exports that were rivaled, for a time, only by the size of the fur trade. To this day, 0 ginseng is still known to live only in 0 eastern Asia and eastern North America. This peculiar occurrence makes it one of the most famous organisms that shows a disjunctive distribution pattern, in which a once continuously distributed species becomes split and isolated. Two botanists are asking what biological or geological events caused the pattern. The species exists in only two places on 0 Earth. Imagine a squishy ball in your palm. The shape changes as you squeeze it, indenting in some places, rising in others and remolding the material inside. The Earth, over 0 geologic time, behaves similarly. 0 Mountains emerge, 0 seas dry up and 0 continents shift. During the process, the flora and fauna that live there also change. This may explain the disjunctive pattern of ginseng. - Did you do a quick review or an in-depth review of articles?- What is one rule or reminder about articles that was useful to you?*Write 3-5 sentences.
