ELIZA as a "therapeutic" tool.
Allowed 70 undergraduate students to interact for 44 minutes with ELIZA--a computer simulation of psychotherapy. Their responses during the first and second halves of the session were compared, and several differences were found. Removing the effect of the simple volume of responses (using the analysis of covariance) did not change the significance of many of the differences.
