Researchers pay special attention to the processes of reading and related semantic processing, since it is typically believed that they occur exclusively consciously. Cognitive psychology has accumulated impressive empirical material that questions the current state of affairs. Studies in the paradigms of artificial grammar learning, word superiority effect, subliminal priming provide sufficient grounds to assume the ability of the cognitive unconscious to process semantic material. In the present experimental study, the author clarify the forms of manifestation of the cognitive unconscious when processing text material, namely, words written from right to left (inversions) and meaningless letter combinations. The participants perform a mnemonic task to recognize previously presented stimuli in a series of fillers. It is supposed that stimuli with a hidden semantic component – inverted words – will have an advantage in the speed and frequency of recognition, compared to meaningless letter combinations, and fillers will be recognized more slowly and less often than previously presented relevant stimuli. The desired effects were not detected, but a classic result for cognitive psychology is observed – correct answers are given faster than erroneous ones, and correct recognition of inverted stimuli occurs faster than all, which, albeit indirectly, indicates unconscious semantic processing. There are reasons to believe that the hypothesis could not be experimentally confirmed due to the use of the original research paradigm. The author plans a study using the classic subliminal priming paradigm to re-test the hypotheses put forward.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Дискуссии вокруг возможностей и ограничений когнитивного бессознательного не утихают с момента появления этого термина в научном дискурсе. Особое внимание исследователей уделяется процессу чтения и связанной с ним семантической обработке, так как хрестоматийно считается, что они происходят исключительно сознательно. Когнитивная психология накопила внушительный эмпирический материал, ставящий под сомнение сложившееся положение дел. Исследования в парадигмах artificial grammar learning, word superiority effect, subliminal priming (англ. «искусственное изучение грамматики», «эффект превосходства слов», «подпороговый прайминг») дают достаточно оснований предполагать способность когнитивного бессознательного к обработке семантического материала. В настоящем экспериментальном исследовании уточняются формы проявления когнитивного бессознательного при обработке текстового материала, а именно слов, написанных справа налево (инверсии), и бессмысленных буквенных сочетаний. Испытуемые выполняют мнемическую задачу на узнавание ранее предъявленных стимулов в череде филлеров. Предполагается, что стимулы со скрытой семантической составляющей – инвертированные слова – будут обладать преимуществом в скорости и частоте узнавания, по сравнению с бессмысленными буквенными сочетаниями, а филлеры будут узнаваться медленнее и реже, нежели ранее предъявленные, релевантные стимулы. Искомых эффектов обнаружено не было, однако наблюдается классический для когнитивной психологии результат: верные ответы даются быстрее ошибочных, а верные узнавания инвертированных стимулов происходят быстрее всех, что, пускай и косвенно, свидетельствует о бессознательной семантической обработке. Есть основания полагать, что гипотезы не удалось экспериментально подтвердить ввиду использования оригинальной исследовательской парадигмы. Планируется исследование с использованием классической парадигмы subliminal priming (англ. «подпороговый прайминг») для повторной проверки выдвинутых гипотез.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cognitive unconscious</kwd><kwd>priming</kwd><kwd>word superiority effect</kwd><kwd>implicit learning</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>когнитивное бессознательное</kwd><kwd>прайминг</kwd><kwd>эффект превосходства слова</kwd><kwd>имплицитное научение</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Piazhe Zh.
