А вот Лефевр пошел другим путем для "страшных слов", нежели Апресян (страшность слов он, заметил, тоже понимал): It is no accident that early steps in this direction were taken in Russia, where the dominance of behaviorism has been historically less oppressive than in America. These preliminary steps were related to a discovery of a sudden interruption of subjects' automatized processes in experimental games. Typical laboratory experiments included two phases. In the first phase, a computer program
playing the role of an opponent "taught" subjects a particular mode of behavior which was advantageous for them. Then, in the second phase, the program suddenly changed its tactics in such a way that the same mode of behavior became disadvantageous. In these experiments, it was discovered that the subjects would alter their behavior abruptly. No evidence of gradual retraining was observed (Lefebvre, 1967; 1969; 1972; 1977a; Baranov & Trudoliubov, 1969a,b; Lepsky, 1969).
The abrupt change from a previous automatized activity was often accompanied by some
"insight" or "realization": the subjects suddenly "understood" that their opponent had, during the first phase of the experiment, deliberately misled them. Under this operational interpretation, the concept of "realization" acquired a functional meaning. It was believed to be connected, if not with the reorganization of human automatized activity, then at least with its instant blocking. Nonetheless,
the use of terms such as "realization," "understanding," "intention," whose meanings depend significantly on the context, threatened a return to pre-behaviorist "mentalism" and abandonment of the commitment to the scientific falsification of hypotheses.
An alternative approach was to construct simple formal models of subjects in the framework of which concepts reflecting the human subjective domain could acquire clear and unambiguous meaning. This approach led to the construction of several particular models of the subject with reflexion.
