One way to recognize an LGAT or other type of irresponsible seminar is the type of waiver form subjects must sign as a condition of participation. In effect, you give them credit for your successes -- and by signing that waiver form, you release them from all responsibility if you are harmed. You are signing away your citizen rights to sue or mediate for damages.
LGAT release/waiver forms.

Room Arrangment
Some LGATs set the room up in a particular way. In some cases furniture is set up with great precision, and re-arranged while subjects are on break. Often, care is taken to re-assign subjects to new groups to prevent people from forming connections with buddies.
This discussion, "Manipulating the room's environment" became one of the most active discussions in the LGAT section of this forum. Troll disruption reached fever pitch -- a sure sign that this topic was an important one.

The impact of LGAT sleep deprivation.
People can easily run short on sleep if they are kept up to a late hour, and or given homework assignments that oblige them to stay up past bedtime, and then rise early enough in the morning to get to the next day of the LGAT event.

Sleep Deprivation
Many LGATs use some form of the Prisoners Dilemma game, sometimes called Red Black Game.
