The fact that the symbols were subliminally flashed means that participants were not aware of them consciously. This sets the stage for a potential experience of déjà vu, which is often described as a feeling of familiarity or recognition without being able to identify the source. Therefore, it can be expected that about half the participants will report experiencing déjà vu after seeing the symbols again, without realizing they had been subliminally presented earlier. The other answer choices are not relevant to this scenario.
