Visual stimuli (primes) presented too briefly to be
consciously identified can nevertheless affect responses to subsequent
stimuli - an instance of unconscious cognition. There is a lively
debate
concerning the underlying mechanism for such priming effects to occur.
The discussed accounts range from the assumption of unconscious
semantic
processing of the primes to simple reactivation of learned motor
responses that conscious stimuli afford during preceding practice.
In several experiments we demonstrated that unconscious
stimuli owe their impact neither to automatic semantic categorization
nor to memory traces of preceding stimulus-response episodes, but to
their match with pre-specified cognitive action-trigger conditions. The
intentional formation of such triggers allows actors to control the way
unconscious stimuli bias their behaviour.
