Abstract

The focus of this paper is the problem of selection of some meanings of ambiguous information tobecome aware of, and the problem of subsequent influence of unnoticed meanings on recognition processes.For the purpose of experimental verification of the idea that there is a dynamics of recognition of unnoticedmeanings of ambiguous images, two experiments were conducted. The ambiguous images and reversiblepictures were used as stimuli for memorization which had to be recognized immediately after presentation,the next day, a week and a month later. We tested the hypothesis according to which previously unnoticedmeanings of ambiguous images tend to penetrate into consciousness as recognition errors in the course oftime. The experimental results are consistent with the hypothesis: a month after the presentation the numberof recognition errors for inverted characters of the reversible pictures reached 71.2%; the number of falserecognition errors for descriptions of noticed meanings of ambiguous images with elements of alternativemeanings reached 67,8% (both values are significantly different from those in control conditions). Thecomparison of several theoretical approaches to polysemy perception allows us to conclude that the bestexplanation for the obtained results can be proposed by the negative choice theory. This theory postulatesthat unnoticed polysemy interpretations show themselves in two ways: they are missed repeatedly in the samecontext but penetrate into consciousness as errors when context changes.
