根据探测面孔的性别或名气对其进行分类的反应时间与前面的三明治遮蔽的主要面孔的类别是否一致或不一致的函数进行对比。素数意识是通过随后对素数进行分类的能力来衡量的，这接近于偶然，并且通常与启动无关。当底漆面在测试中从未作为可见探针出现时，底漆是不可靠的；当素数面孔也被视为探针时，只有当可见和遮蔽的面孔呈现交错时（不仅仅是素数在前一会话中可见），启动才是可靠的。在后一种情况下，启动独立于实验诱导的面部反应或面部类别意外事件，排除了任何简单形式的刺激反应学习。我们得出的结论是，可靠的掩蔽一致性启动反映了刺激与可以公开和秘密生成的多个抽象分类之间的结合。
Reaction times for categorization of a probe face according to its sex or fame were contrasted as a function of whether the category of a preceding, sandwich-masked prime face was congruent or incongruent. Prime awareness was measured by the ability to later categorize the primes, and this was close to chance and typically uncorrelated with priming. When prime faces were never presented as visible probes within a test, priming was not reliable; when prime faces were also seen as probes, priming was only reliable if visible and masked presentation of faces were interleaved (not simply if primes had been visible in a previous session). In the latter case, priming was independent of experimentally induced face-response or face-category contingencies, ruling out any simple form of stimulus-response learning. We conclude that the reliable masked congruency priming reflects bindings between stimuli and multiple, abstract classifications that can be generated both overtly and covertly.
