enjoy the accidental luxury of using "light" without a complete definition of electricity,
i.e., use an instrumental system without knowing the essence of all its components. A
random comparison of students comments gives a personal Sescription at Table 6 which was
oriented positively toward the FAST program.

Potts) Summary of Responses 72.7)27.3
As a preliminary pilot study, the FAST system presented a variety of very promising though
attenuated results. The FAST/AGS approach was apparently acceptable to instructors and
students in that it was not disruptive to BBC functioning and served effectively as a group
counseling procedure. Within conservative limits relaxation was experienced by the test
class and performance attitudes favorably modified by the FAST system. The FAST/AGS
technology was adaptable for BBC and may be improved with prescribed scheduling and tape
editing. Test instruments furnished evidence that favorable stress adjustments are clearly
possible and performance selectively enhanced when desired.
