[Conditioned switching-over and cognitive set].
The importance of Asratyan's conditioned switching-over phenomenon as an experimental model for investigation of the control function of the inner states (sets) in behavior is discussed. It is argued that experimental investigation of the animal conditioned switching-over phenomenon at the novel cognitive stage of exploration of neural mechanisms of behavior using the modern conceptual models of brain operation and conceptual apparatus can be a promising approach to understanding of the physiological basis of human unconscious cognitive sets and their role in perception of external signals and organization of voluntary behavior.
