This study was conducted with the aim of revealing the features of understanding nontransitive superiority relations in different conditions. Also, it was studied how judgments about the possibility / impossibility of the existence of "nontransitive" objects in different areas were changing. The study involved 80 people who were randomly divided into 2 groups (1 group: male-12, female-28, 2 group: male-11, female-29). Both groups answered the same questions, then they were offered a different contextual stimulus, then the questions were repeated. Further, it was analyzed whether the differences in respondents' answers from the group with the presentation of simple and complex contextual stimuli were significant. Also, a comparison was made between the responses after online stimuli and real incentives were presented. The results of the study were the conclusions that a complex contextual stimulus does in fact have a more significant impact on respondents' repeated responses, but it also has a negative impact. In addition, there were discovered differences in the understanding of the relationship of nontransitive objects in their real presentation or image online.
