A 1998 article in ''Psychological Science'' described a series of [[experiment]]s designed to determine whether people who believed in automatic writing could be shown that it might be the ideomotor effect. The paper indicated that "our attempt to introduce [[doubt]] about the validity of automatic writing did not succeed." The paper noted that "including [[information]] about the controversy surrounding facilitated [[communication]] did not affect self-efficacy ratings, nor did it affect the number of responses that were produced. In this sense, illusory facilitation appears to be a very robust [[phenomenon]], not unlike illusory correlation, which is not reversed by warning participants about the phenomenon."[2]
