Multi-Sensory Conditioning Kit for Psychological Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for psychological support and attitude change through sensory stimulation primarily focus on limited sensory channels, lacking a systematic approach to engage the entire human sensory system effectively for classical conditioning.
Innovation Solution
A comprehensive tool kit incorporating flavoring food additives, aromatic essential oils, minerals, autogenic training text, and images with suggestive formulas, tailored to individual sensory preferences through psychodiagnostics, to stimulate all seven sensory channels for full-sensory classical conditioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a tool kit is provided for sensory stimulation in psychological support, then the involvement of the human sensory perception system is increased, but the completeness of sensory channel coverage is insufficient when using limited tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional tool kit where each tool can serve multiple sensory purposes. For example, aromatic essential oils can stimulate both olfactory and kinaesthetic senses, while images with suggestive formulas engage visual and reasoning channels. This allows a limited set of tools to effectively cover all seven sensory channels without requiring a separate tool for each channel.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the sensory stimulation process into seven distinct channels (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, reasoning, and kinaesthetic), each addressed by specific tools within the kit. This segmentation allows for targeted engagement of each sensory channel while maintaining an organized and manageable tool structure that doesn't require an excessive number of items.
2Reliability
If tools are selected based on individual sensory preferences through testing, then the effectiveness of attitude change is improved, but the complexity of the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by conducting psychodiagnostics testing before the actual attitude change process. This preliminary step identifies the patient's individual sensory preferences and determines which tools from the kit will be most effective. By performing this assessment in advance, the subsequent therapy becomes more targeted and effective, while the complexity is front-loaded into an initial setup phase rather than being ongoing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the results of psychodiagnostics testing inform the selection and customization of tools for each patient. This feedback loop ensures that the tool kit is tailored to individual sensory preferences, maximizing effectiveness. The feedback process transforms raw test data into actionable insights about which sensory channels and specific tools will work best for each patient.

AI summary
The invention relates to the field of psychology and is used in the psychological modification of mental states and psychological dependencies and the modification of social behavior using methods aimed at attitude change. The proposed tool kit is used for pleasant classical conditioning, which is carried out using all the sensory channels by which a human perceives information - vision, sound, touch, smell, taste, reasoning, kinaesthetics. Thus, the entire sensory system of human perception is involved in a process of autogenic training, and maximum effectiveness of classical conditioning is achieved. The classical conditioning tool kit for attitude change, used in the provision of psychological support, contains at least one food flavoring additive, at least one essential oil scent, at least one mineral with varying thermal conductivity, an autogenic training text for listening, an image with a chosen attitude change suggestion formula, an image with a kinaesthetic sensations formula, and an image with a reasoned convictions formula, wherein all the tools evoke pleasant feelings in the patient. The tools are combined into one package. The classical conditioning tool kit for attitude change, used in the provision of psychological support, contains instructions for using the tools. The classical conditioning tool kit for attitude change, used in the provision of psychological support, contains an accessory for using the essential oil scent.
