The present experiment adopted a new method to determine the trial block in which the subject acquired awareness after completing conditioning trials, attempting to reply to the question whether the traditional method assessing awareness during conditioning trials assists the subject to acquire awareness. The purpose of the present experiment was to test the temporal relationship between awareness and performance in a Taffel-type task, using this new method. The main results were as follows. (a) Only aware subjects showed a significant performance increment. (b) Performance did not increase before the trials in which awareness was acquired. (c) Performance at the first block of the post-aware phase was significantly above performance at the end block of the pre-aware phase for both raw and Vincentized data.
