Interesting article picked up by elearningpost discussing advertising, marketing and the subconscious mind. The connections to education are obvious. In a nutshell, "Insights about the workings of the cognitive unconscious including memory, attention, information processing, the nature of human universals, and socially shared cognitions, and the neurobiology of figurative thinking, for instance, have already outdated most thinking and current practices among managers." I would add that such insights have also outdated most thinking about teaching pedagogy and practice.
