Abstract

An underlying basic assumption in contemporary information retrieval research is that the process of inquiry is driven by conscious cognition, while the role of unconscious cognition has been largely assumed not to exist or has been unacknowledged. Consequently, information retrieval theory has been unable to explain why inquirere tend to represent their problems so poorly, particularly at the outset. Reports results of a study of the elicitation of unconscious cognition in the course of an in depth inquiry, using an information counselling approach with the aid of a programmed relaxation device (audiovisual integrator) and a EEG computeroied biofeedback monitoring device. The experiment was conducted on 36 graduate students and faculty members randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. The experimental group showed marked increases in intuition, insight, ideas and conceptual fluidity. The mobilization of unconscious cognition also has a positive impacts on the formulation and representation of research problems for the inquirer and the intermediary
