[Dependence of the verbal set on the cognitive activity context].
It was shown in adult healthy subjects (n = 60) that the set depends on the context of cognitive activity. Under conditions of its complication, when a subject had to solve successively several tasks, the stability of the verbal set markedly increased. This was expressed in a longer effect of "blindness" characteristic for the set to pseudo-word reading and increase in the time of reaction to a probe stimulus.
