Having no conscious experience of events but having an unconscious something can also occur. This is what happens to the severed corpus callosum patients when you show them two images or words so that each is only in the field of vision of one eye. They only report seeing one, but the ‘unseen’ image can color their interpretation of the ‘seen’ one.
For example, if I show your talking half the word “cleave” and put a picture of two people hugging in the second, unseen slot, you’re more likely to define “cleave” as “joining” than you would be if the second picture was of a knife cutting fruit.
