Language Distribution Across Conscious, Preconscious, and Unconscious Layers in Multilingual Individuals
This study investigates how mother tongue and secondary languages are represented and activated across different layers of cognition: unconscious, preconscious, and conscious mind. Classical psychoanalytic theory has suggested that the unconscious is largely pre-linguistic; however, preliminary observations (e.g., dreaming in multiple languages) suggest that language is present in all cognitive layers but functions differently across layers.
This preregistration outlines a mixed-methods study involving multilingual participants. Data will include dream logs, memory recall tasks, and moral dilemma tests, which together will allow an analysis of language use across cognitive depth and emotional weight.
This study aims to test the Multilayer Linguistic Activation Model (MLAM):
Unconscious layer: fragmented, associative, emotionally weighted language; code-switching frequent.
Preconscious layer: narrative organization, often mother tongue dominant, inner speech.
Conscious layer: structured, logical, intentional language switching; analytical reasoning often in secondary language
“The Reports of My Death Are Greatly Exaggerated”: Humans Can Extract Unconscious Bigram Knowledge in the Artificial Grammar Learning Task
Humans often appear to possess knowledge they cannot fully articulate. For instance, in the landmark artificial grammar learning (AGL) task, participants acquire a complex regularity (grammar) that generates letter sequences, while typically claiming to have little or no subjective access to the regularity, thus suggesting that learning has been largely unconscious. A highly influential argument against this conclusion comes from studies showing that participants can identify simple letter pairs (bigrams) that the grammar is composed of, when asked to do so. Consequently, the unconscious status of learning in AGL has remained highly controversial. Crucially, however, these latter studies have never measured participants’ subjective states when performing the bigram identifications but assumed that bigram identification necessarily reveals conscious knowledge. In this paper, we put to test this critical assumption, by employing novel bigram-based artificial grammars and, simultaneously, by measuring participants’ subjective states when operating with bigram knowledge. For generalization, we employed both typical letter stimuli and face stimuli. Participants (N = 188) memorized strings (of faces or letters), constructed from the grammars; subsequently, they classified novel strings (half grammatical, half nongrammatical), reporting subjective awareness trial-by-trial. We found that letter strings were classified above chance based both on unconscious and on conscious knowledge (all ps < .001, Bayes factors > 106), while data were insensitive for the faces condition (Bayes factors between 0.33 and 3, all ps > .05). Our findings demonstrate unconscious learning of bigrams for letter strings, challenging the influential idea that accurate bigram knowledge necessarily reveals conscious knowledge
